554 labelled

[Phoenix]

Any idea what this new message means, next to the update notification.

It has to be Ancestry's labelling, not mine, since a sample I've done little work on has over 5k labelled. And it only appeared this morning.

Help!

No idea, I saw it this morning when I logged into my ancestry.

Mine is 643 Labeled.

Mine doesn't have this but OH's say 840 labeled. Mine was updated in November, his in December.

Son-in-law's also updated in December. His says 470 labeled.

Hmm. Now, if I have a seemingly massive 1,491 labeled (I do), is that a good or a bad thing?

EDIT:
Updated Jan 2023

Maybe it's just down to how many rounds of updating have been applied.

AND EDIT AGAIN:

Okay, wait. Does it mean that in this latest update of January 2023 they've found 1,491 DNA matches to label as maternal or paternal?

The labelling has disappeared on all but one of the samples I manage. Perhaps at the next update they will explain what it means?

I have 647 and they still have my cousins as unassigned. Makes you wonder.
