Filter by region now on AncestryDNA

AncestryDNA Filters.

Ancestry has added the ability to filter DNA matches by ancestral region. Using my Mom's results as an example, when I click into regions as shown above, I get a drop down menu for all of her ancestral regions. Then I can click further to filter by matches in common from those regions. This is a significant improvement to the filter by journeys feature that Ancestry launched last year.

When I run this on my Dad's results and filter by Central Ireland, I can now see several bubble groups with ties to Roscommon, Ireland. This is really promising for finding potential connections to the family of my 3rd-great-grandmother Bridget.
