I’m very pleased to announce Places, a significant new feature at DNA Painter. I’ve wanted to work with maps for a long time. This is not just because they’re visually striking, but because seeing ancestral locations mapped out makes it easier to understand my tree and where I came from. My goal is to provide a birds-eye view of a person’s ancestors that’s both beautiful and informative. Places does this by making use of information in the birth place field in your ancestral tree.
