New Matches Coming In

[nolnacsj]

April 14. I got one match, my nephew got one match. Both are 5th to remote. My son got none.

I received one new 5th-distant match yesterday, first new match for me since 3/20. I now have 69.

Really hoping for a closer match someday. I have one predicted 3rd cousin match here which came in over a year ago on 2/28/11. However, I have nothing closer than a 4th cousin match with the other company.

Weak week...

1 new match for my cousin
0 for my mother
0 for me since Feb 29!

Everyone waits for sales, I suppose. It certainly was nice getting all those matches during and after the Holiday sale! Each of the above kits just about doubled the total no. of matches they had. A price tag of under $200 seems to make it seem affordable to more people.

I hit the jackpot last week with quite a few matches; my father had none. This week he was the winner with one match. It's sort of fun when we have mutual matches but that has not happened for a few weeks now. Once again, he appears to be much closer to the immigrant populatons and locales of our ancestors than me. Every once and a while, when a cousin posts a photo, family members think they see a resemblance. It's probably just a coincidence but in the end, that type of observation adds to the interest value of all of this. My mother and I thought one distant cousin resembles one of my now-deceased uncles!

Anyone have any new matches today?

Zero for my mom, zero for me.

Thanks. Perhaps there was no update this week.

New matches in (4/21)!

Just checked my account - 4 new matches.

[cjm95]

A few new matches here as well. Thx.

One 4th to remote match for me, no matches for my son & nephew.

[sjadelson]

8 new ones here, no one particularly close (no one FTDNA makes a suggested 5th or better).

Thanks to the sale, there's new samples incoming from my father and a third cousin on my mother's side. Should help things pick up for me.

Parents

It's been a pretty good week. My father and I both had a mutual cousin added to our lists. When this happens, either with my father or my other FF cousins, that sense of great mystery and awe of all of this really increases for me.

I'm so happy too that FTDNA decided to have another sale. Ordered a kit for my mother. She was hesitant for some time, but now that my father has completed the process, she seems to be more supportive of the whole thing.

None of my kits have had a new match since 4/5. And that was 1. The other 4 kits haven't had a match since March. We're all between 26-47 total matches.

No update this week? One usually expects to hear about new matches late Friday and thru Saturday. Has the shedule changed?
