Where is this, please, Toni?

At the top left of the screen - you have Home, trees, Search, DNA, Help Extras.

Click DNA and get a drop down menu. It is the fifth option for me.

Thanks, Toni. I don't get that drop-down menu on ancestry.co.uk but I do get it if I switch to ancestry.com (you can use the same logon for the com site as for the uk site.)

Oh, I've tried it out on the US site now and it takes you to the page for that person, not to their position within your long list of matches.

oh ******. I haven't tried it. sorry.

My ancestry automatically defaults to .com if I look at DNA stuff even if I'm on .co.uk when I start. I don't know why.

I've found one such person on Ancestry by searching for an unusual surname in my tree.

My plan now is to disable the Improved DNA Matches feature, view a page of matches on the old-style list and set all on the page to "starred matches", then enable Improved DNA Matches again and view starred matches, go through them adding them to groups etc and removing the stars, then repeat for the next page. I suppose it would be a bit more complicated if I deleted (hid) some of them though.

Yep, that does seem the easiest way.
