I received this infoprmation from Daniel Horowitz of MyHeritage today:

You can read more about the update in the blog post. 

                   =============================================

NOTE:  I now have 21 Theory of Family Relativity DNA matches (it was 19). However, one of the ToFR is wrong as shown - I have the right line for the match in my tree - why didn't MyHeritage use that line?

Disclosure:  I receive a complimentary subscription to MyHeritage, and gave received other material consideration in past years.  I uploaded my autosomal DNA raw data to their DNA product.  This does not affect my objective analysis of MyHeritage products.
