Gedmatch - no new matches

[Old Bristolian]

I uploaded my Ancestry DNA results to Gedmatch several months ago and received the normal list of hundreds of matches. These were added to regularly (indicated by the green colouring) but since December have dried up completely. Has anyone else experenced this?

Have you checked Gedmatch Genesis, Steve?

They've converted our results and I think are now just updating on there.

Thanks Gadget - I hadn't noticed that even though I registered for the Beta version some time ago,

It seems I can no longer access the "One to many" tool on Genesis any longer without paying to join Tier1. Which means I can't access the trees of my matches, and I don't get to see what new matches have shown up. I'm not very impressed,

I was so disappointed with gedmatch that I hardly ever check for new matches but I have NEVER seen any new matches - in any shade of green.

I had a similar experience a few years ago with Lost Cousins - I spent ages putting in details of my ancestors on censuses and have NEVER had a single match, though I must say that I always read Peter Calver's informative newsletters from start to finish.

Perhaps I'm just unlucky and have lots of cousins who are totally disinterested in genealogy? There are certainly some closer relatives who don't hesitate to give me their views that it is all a total waste of time.     I ignore them - and will priobably keep chipping away at these websites but it does start to feel like a losing battle!!

Thank goodness Ancestry's DNA test was well worth the above disappointments.

Jillruss, you can join me in the billy-no-mates corner      .  I have 140 ancestral relatives on Lost Cousins and I have no modern day "lost cousins" of my own either.

I've not done a DNA test, though I have thought about it.  I fear I may have no DNA relatives either!

I think it might be your relatives rather than Gedmatch - they've not uploaded there

I uploaded to Gedmatch, and then tried to migrate over to Genesis. It got stuck, and I had to upload direct. Several months later, they migrate all our samples over wholesale, so I now have mine on there twice.

Sure enough, the samples match each other big time, but when I do the one-to-many match, they don't match! Some are there, but my closest match on both the original Gedmatch and on the directly uploaded sample doesn't figure AT ALL on the transfered kit!

Do find this a bit worrying!
