Good to hear! Thanks for the update, Matt.
Seems to me that FTDNA could adopt a regular cadence of availability - every two weeks, once a month, some other regular timeframe - rather than "whenever". It might not actually be "whenever", but there's no indication of what drives the timing. A known schedule would reduce the number of questions substantially, I think.

Looks like I have a few fun weeks ahead. We seem to have more matches this week than we have had in some of the big sales weeks.
9 new for me
9 new for my wife
8 for my mum
10 new for my father
9 new for my father in law
10 for my mother in law
son results are pending
Closest of these were a few new 4ths. No obvious links on a quick review of the attached Gedcoms. One Gedcom looks very promising with a common surname from the same rural area of Staffordshire so I will be working that first.
Earl.

New Matches
Hi ,
I also have new matches and one of the accounts I manage has a match with no name or e-mail. I am glad this match does not have my father so the person may just be on her fathers side of the family.
I also checked with the chromosome browser to see where the match may be.

I was getting 1 to 5 matches every week up to a few months ago. Now it seems FTDNA is holding back on showing matches so the number of matches you receive is larger. I was to the point where I was getting tired of checking to see if I got new matches. I think its best to go back to weekly posting of new matches to keep people interested. I know for me I was to the point where I had lost interest in checking. If they are coming in weekly I don't see me losing interest in checking. I know we all have dry spells but after a few months of weeks with no matches than getting a large group of matches at the end of each month I finely figured out what was going on.
