Ancestry DNA Delay - No New Matches

[Flemming]

Well, the photo of this 'new' 9cM match has definitely come through before, and I've checked the other sites I use to make sure I'm not remembering it from there. I've also done a search on the name and it doesn't come up - as usual for the first 24 hours of a new match coming through (it doesn't seem to get indexed immediately) - and so it's not some kind of glitchy duplicate.

If Ancestry has removed a load of matches for some reason, even if by mistake, they're hardly likely to admit it, especially if notes and colour coding have been lost with them.

Random checked a few of today's matches joined dates, some are between christmas and new year 2021. The odd 2006, 2012. Bear in mind I opened my Ancestry account 5 years before buying a DNA test.

Another way of checking is to sort matches in descending date orer and filter according to whether you've messaged them. If any from today turn up, you'll know they've been in your list before.

EDIT Just done this myself and only matches from over three months ago turn up when I've contacted several more since then.

The messaged filter has always come back blank despite having messaged known matches.

Checked few more and a couple joined Christmas day. I think it's the awareness and promotion by TV ads and programmes selling kits. Plus Ancestry closed down for the Christmas period without notifying

On 6 Jan  this year, I had 37189 matches. I now have 37330 or 141 more since then / and 64 today/ so it does look as if they've been playing.

Add - 22.25 it's  slowing down now -  only 2 since I first posted this

This can't be just about the post-Xmas blip, it's not long enough for this many results to come through.

Phew - 56 new matches today (just for me, I have not checked the other 2 accounts I manage!), will have to work on therm tomorrow night, as I have been busy today, and just noticed them, and have a fairly busy day tomorrow too!!
