Although AncestryDNA refuses to offer a chromosome browser, they do offer some helpful bits of information. You can't see
where you share DNA with any given cousin match, but you can see the
total cM shared and how many
segments shared.

A typical scenario: no tree, no chromosome browser, but at least I can see that Ancestry is confident of this match and it tells me how much DNA is estimated to be shared. AncestryDNA estimated 4th cousin (avg 31 cM shared according to chart above), but it could be anything from a 1st cousin 2x's removed to a 4th cousin 1x's removed, but too much for a 5th cousin (unless there are other people you share that you don't know about). |
This chart is very helpful to immediately determine a likely set of possible relationships. I like that it includes both the
average amount shared as well as includes the
range of possible shared cM.

Great chart very easy to use. Thank you for posting.
