MyHeritage allows users to confirm or reject Theory of Family Relativity matches

From MyHeritage (www.myheritage.com):

You asked, we delivered. I’m excited to tell you about an important feature update we just released: you can now confirm or reject a Theory of Family Relativity™ on MyHeritage. This functionality was widely requested by our DNA users, and we are delighted to make it available.

Our Theory of Family Relativity™ feature incorporates genealogical information from all our historical records and family tree profiles to offer theories on how your DNA Matches might be related to you. While the theories presented are often accurate, sometimes, they are incorrect. Before now, there was no way to confirm or reject a theory. Now there is! This new functionality will allow MyHeritage users to systematically review their theories and mark the ones they’ve already looked at so they can focus on new ones.

By the way, we also recently introduced a new filter to the DNA Match pages: Genetic Groups. You can now filter your DNA Match list according to the Genetic Groups your matches belong to.

The addition of both of these features will make it easier than ever for MyHeritage DNA users to focus on the DNA Matches most important to them so they can move forward with their research.
