Great news! The MyHeritage team just rolled out an update to Theory of Family Relativity, adding an impressive 103 million new theories — a 44% increase that brings the total to over 336 million.

Theory of Family Relativity is the ultimate tool for smashing brick walls and solving DNA-Match-related mysteries. It’s the only DNA tool on the market that leverages historical records as well as family tree and DNA data to suggest how a given DNA Match may be related to you. Because of the vast amounts of data involved, Theories of Family Relativity are calculated and refreshed on a periodic basis. With this update, 3.5 million DNA kits now have at least one Theory of Family Relativity — a 20% jump since the last time the data was refreshed.

Look for the purple banner at the top of their DNA Matches page that indicates that they’ve received new theories! For those who don’t get any new theories, this is a great reminder to build out their trees as much as they can to increase their chances of receiving new theories next time. More information on the update is on the blog. Feel free to use the image above when spreading the word!

By the way, we just launched our Early Black Friday DNA Sale — another great opportunity for all to stock up ahead of the holidays.
