Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Ancestry matches don't reply to me....
« on: Wednesday 09 May 18 13:10 BST (UK) »
Hi
So I have done the Ancestry DNA test but I am struggling to get anyone to respond to me. I'm not sure if it's because of the way I am writing my message to them or if it's because they just aren't bothered.
Since I did it in April last year I have only had one person respond to me and even then it was a response to say they would love to find out our DNA link but then they never got back to me when I followed it up with a message. I obviously understand that people have lives and probably aren't quite as interested in finding out about their ancestry as me but is it normal to not have anyone reply to you?. I've reached out to around 25 people, all being 2nd, 3rd and 4th Cousins but I am not having much joy.
Am I alone in my struggle? does anyone have any suggestions?
