New Matches Coming In

[andbro]

I had a disappointing 3, 3, and 5, all very distant 5th, on my 3 kits. and a delayed MTDNA kit.

After 4 weeks I would have expected more, especially since sales and vouchers not that long ago.

Im disheartened.

Is that 3 to 5 a week or 3 to 5 a month or longer, also do you have an idea what part of the world your people come from?

[andbro]

That was since 10th aug. So a month. From England. I was getting more each time when new results came out every 2 weeks

[EdwardRHill]

I was getting 1 to 5 every week before Ancestry came out with their test. Once they came out with their test it seem that my matches here are released at the end of the month roughly 20. My heritage is mostly British Isles and my guess most people that do Genealogy have the same connection. So i was wondering if your heritage was from an area that the test population is not representated as strongly as maybe the British Isles population. How many matches do you have and do your matches have English surnames or do they appear to be from other places? If you just tested you might just need to give it some time.

I'm a little disappointed too. Only one match! He is also distant. He has a gedcom, with lots of information, and is Jewish. So at least I have more evidence of my family's history further back in time.

I guess it is better to have at least one match instead of no match!

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

One of my new matches was a predicted second cousin. Has FTDNA stopped sending emails for second cousins and closer predictions, or is it going to turn up eventually?

No more emails. I usually check the website to see if any new cousins have shown up.

I do check, but I appreciated the emails.

So far as I can recall I've never gotten a single email for FF matches. Useless HVR region 1 matches, sure. It's kind of odd really.

[Earl Davis]

I have only ever got FF emails for matches in the 'close and immediate category'.

Earl.

Has anyone received a match since 8/31?

[1_mke]

Nope. I got one on 8/30 and nothing since.

[sjadelson]

I can't speak for everyone, but I believe not. Last batch was 31 Aug, and prior to that 10 Aug. Perhaps by the end of the week we'll get some additional hits.

[Osiris]

Nope. 3 on the 31st and then nothing.

Reading the old posts it seems like they came fairly regularly until I got my test done and have only gotten sporadic results since then. In fact I 69 right after my results came in and have gotten 23 in the 2 months since with typically 2 to 3 weeks between new results.

I too have not had any new cousins added to my list (or those of my parents) since August 31. I do enjoy reading the posts on here though and have spent more time on ancestry.com searching for paper trails. One thing I seem to have more time doing on this site now is checking to see if FF cousins have added new ancestral names to their lists. I also enjoy using the "in common with" command.
