Hi. Thank you.
Can I ask what OP mean?

Original Poster, I so hate it when people use abbreviations without first defining them,  unless they are really common ones like FBI or LASER or BMW.

If you also take a My Heritage DNA test you might find some useful matches on your paternal line.

I know that many people poo poo My Heritage for various reasons, but in my experience My Heritage is useful for Eastern European heritage, especially if they still live in Europe.

A quick example from one of my own Polish ancestors …. On Ancestry. myself and a known distant cousin have two only two common matches. On My Heritage we share over 100 (I stopped counting after getting past 100).

Just something for you to consider ….

Thank you for that information.
I didn't need to take another dna test, I downloaded the test I had done with Ancestry, then uploaded it to MyHeritage - and yes, there are more matches showing from there, mostly in Germany and Poland. Some of them seem to be very close matches, and although I have sent messages to the people I am matched with, I haven't had any replies - but I wait, and hope.
