This is a very helpful tool, I was able to identify my two great-grand parents, and four 2nd-great grandparents on my maternal grandfather's side. It was done by connecting me to the trees of people who I share genetic relatedness with. The individual I retrieved this information from is a 3rd-cousin of mine. My mother had verified that the names are correct. There's another two that I am unable to see, who are set on private.

I think AncestryDNA's match sharing feature is becoming increasingly interesting. Especially since people seem more willing to post their profile pics to it. I can vaguely see some relatedness with some people.
 
I'm not finding much use for it. The thru line hints have only matched me with my previously known ancestors.
