LivingDNA
« on: Thursday 06 February 20 20:26 GMT (UK) »

I recently completed a DNA tested with Ancestry. As many of you will be aware there many "matches" Of course most of the matches were very low cM counts.
I uploaded to Heritage and familytree DNA with the same result.
Two weeks after uploading to Living DNA - not a single match!
Convinced that there was a problem with the upload and after several e mails to their support, I was advised that there was indeed not a single match.
Has any one experienced this?

LivingDNA has not given me anything by way of matches but as its only a very small database I do not read anything untoward in that.
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

Dad has one match (I'm the manager of the account).  Apparently Living DNA are currently only matching to 3rd cousin level, hence it would seem the lack of matches.

That explains it - most of mine were beyond that on the other sites.

I have been on there over a year, a download from 23andMe, and haven't a link to anyone yet but several from LivingDNA are on GEDmatch and link to me - not impressed. Emailed and was fobbed off ::)

Andrew, an 'immaculate' record.  Beyond my conception. I've never heard of this happening before. Have you asked them to comment?
