Teewinot #649687 I never said that Ancestry gave no notice that they were removing matches below 8.0 cM. I said that they gave no notice that they were changing the cut-off in the shared DNA from 6.0 cM (at the time) to 20 cM.

I have no affiliation with Ancestry but was on a call to "select" posters/bloggers when they announced this and asked that it be shared. I posted to this group on Friday July 31 about the Ancestry changes- when they delayed for one month from their original date giving people adequate time to mark those with less than 8.0 cM with notes or adding notes, sending messages or adding them to a group.
