Martin,

After several e mails this was their reply:

"Do you know anyone in your family who has existing data that you can invite to join and upload via your portal?
Once this has been done and you have both opted in at different times it is possible that you will not see the match until the next release of new members. If it's been longer than three weeks since you both opted in please let us know the testing refs for you both and we can investigate further.

If you do not have other known family members who have tested with us and opted in it is possible that you may not have any matches until our database grows."

Kind of defeats the purpose.

Dad tested with Living DNA over two years ago and still has absolutely no matches. I was given the same answer when I queried it - he has plenty of matches on FTdna.

I can't even get them to Activate my kit 

The site keeps saying that the activation code has already been used or is invalid. I bought it from them last year and it's hasn't been used. The code is on the tube and the box.

They said they'd get back to me

Took me 18 months or so to get 1 match - and that was a duplicate from FTDNA - so nothing new - except for an update to my Ethnicity profile which, for me, is just like all other sites I am on.I'm basically 70% Irish and 25 % Northern Irish/South West Scottish - because they can't be distinguishe due to long term mixing, with small percentages of North west Scottish & Cumbrian - again areas wher inter mingling could have taken place over millennia with the Irish! So basically 95% Irish, which could be 100 % Irish as the small% could be 0% in reality.

I tested with LivingDNA and have been trying to upload results to other DNA matching sites.
I abandoned the upload to MyHeritage because it was taking soooo long, way longer than to Gedmatch. Is that usual?
I registered with FamilyTreeDNA but the DNA upload options were only for tests from Ancestry, 23 and me, or MyHeritage.

I'd be grateful if anyone who's used LivingDNA could let me know whether they successfully uploaded their results to these or any other sites.

Thank you,
Pixie
