Back to question 2 - I saw a post on Facebook today which said that the Ancestry DNA app can show you which of your matches share a particular ethnicity with you. I've just installed the app and tried it out and it does do that. You have to tap on "matches" at the bottom, then find "Your Groups" then "Your Ethnicity Groups" and then find the particular one you want to look at, tap on it, and it will list those of your matches who also have that ethnicity in their estimate.

I assume there is a way of viewing other DNA tests that you manage, rather than your own, in the app but this is the first time I've tried it, so not very familiar with it.

I cannot find this app to download onto my mobile what is it actually named.

I can see a genetic one but not ethnicity, am I being really thick?

It's called AncestryDNA - Genetic Testing in the Google Play store (for Android), Maggie. Don't know whether it has a different name on other OS's.

Sorry Kiterunner I have been out all afternoon, thank you.

I can see that one so I will download it and see what happens :)

It doesn't give anymore functionality than you get on desktop, you can compare ethnicity with a match on there.

The question I was originally answering was how to find a list of which matches have a particular ethnicity without having to check each one, Maggie.

Oh okay sorry I misunderstood.
