      That was my last update too.

      • Three full weeks since the last update... I think this is a record for me. I manage three Ashkenazi tests that each regularly get 30-50 new matches at each update.

        • I got 10 matches 3 weeks ago. This seems like a long wait for matches. I wonder if they are having issues still.

          • New kits are being loaded in now... with some patience we should them up soon.

            • FF Matches

              Pop finder results on the kit I am waiting on have been up for a couple of days.
              I was just able to download raw data.
              Matches must be soon to follow.

              • 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.

                • Thanks, Angelia! Wishing everyone luck with this batch!

                  • They are here. 63 new ones. (due to being a member of an endogamous population)

                    • Got 3 myself. I wish they'd have counts on the front page. I follow the database count sizes daily so I can see how fast y DNA comes in.

                      But 3 new matches will be fun to add to all the reports I have.

                      • 6 new ones to my maternal Uncle's kit, including 2 suggested 4th cousins. Of course each of these two "4th cousins" have only 1 block that is over 10 cM.

                        • I got 10 new matches including a predicted 3rd cousin. My son got 7 matches including two predicted 4th cousins. My nephew got 5 matches, all distant ones.

                          • 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.

                              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.
