I strongly agree with the others who warned about deleting people from your database according to DNA ethnicity results. Such results are not exact. DNA only suggests a region where people with a particular cluster of genes in common mostly originate from. The regions or countries given by each company varies according to where most of the customers in their database come from and how each company defines the region or country borders. The ethnicity results are far less useful if you have mixed ethnic ancestors as the results can be very skewed.
There is no such thing as being 100% French or any other ethnicity. Different tribes have migrated across the world for millennia. The Ancestry company is misleading because they do not tell you that they only test autosomal DNA which is only works for about 3- 5 generations at most. Other companies that test mtDNA and Y-DNA (as well as autosomal DNA may possibly provide more accurate results about your ethnic heritage.

There must be a reason why they are in your Family file. I would not rely on DNA to tell me who should be in my database. Mary Young On Tue, 23 Jul 2019, 05:28 , <[email protected]> wrote: Robert. Two ways: 1.. Unlink them from your from their families so keeping them in your database. 2.. Tag the ones you want deleted an then delete them. Either way you need to spend time making sure you unlink or delete the correct ones. Cheers From: LegacyUserGroup <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Robert O.

LaBonte Sr. <[email protected]> Subject: [LegacyUG] Mass deleting entries Hello I hope that you can help me on this. I have 1,000's + of entries that I did not enter in my tree. How do I delete masses of these people? My tree consist of 27,000+ people and about 3,000+ are wrong. My DNA shows that I am 100% french and these entries are English and whatever. How can I delete these people without deleting relatives sprinkled among them?
