That's only 420 pages. Scrolling down will still take five minutes to get to about 8cm. I seem to have inherited only a small amount of DNA from my Norfolk granny, so answers will mainly lie in the 6-10cM range. I will try the tip about keeping the page, but I get bounced out of Ancestry if I have too many windows open.

Okay, I went on the ancestry.com site (on the PC) and managed to get to my matches within a region by clicking on "DNA Story". Will try to do it again and explain how! And see if I can do it on the UK site as well...

Edit - oh no, it only seems to show me a few of them that way, "featured matches".

I've only known of the app, which I haven't used much. Is there anyway on the PC?

We can search match trees for surname or birth location but I've never found them to be much use

Ancestry have said on Facebook that there is no way to do it on a PC now.

But they have added that it is a temporary problem and they will be fixing it.

They say there are a lot of changes coming soon. Maybe that will be one of them? Fingers crossed
