Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Could the Golden Age of DNA Testing Be Over?

For me the biggest issue is the increasing numbers of new matches with no trees, a public tree consisting of 1, 2, or 3 private entries, or a completely private tree.

I don't think I've had any really important matches for a year on any of the three trees I manage.
And many have no shared matches either!

I've actually done the DNA through Ancestry, the person who shares 18% DNA
And 1229cM the one that's shares 11%DNA is 763cM. The person who shares 7% DNA is my 1st cousins daughter so she's my 2nd cousin. There was a guy who shared 8% DNA 543cM I contacted him we have a name in common his grandmother and my 2nd great grandmother share the same name he hasn't replied to my email since, he actually has a few shared matches and its the ones at 18% and 11% so fingers crossed he gets back to me

1229 and 763 cM are very high on the range that DNApainter gives for 1C and 1C1R. Could there be a second common ancestor? 
The 543 cM match is more in line with the range it gives for 1C1R (102-980) than 2C (41-592)

On the point about 2nd cousins.
I have 3 2C matches on MyHeritage at 3-5%, respectively 212.5, 334.7 and 316.4 cM and a fourth on FamilyTree DNA at 206 cM.
I have none on Ancestry where a 339 cM match can only be a half 1C

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / 500 4th cousins
« on: Saturday 10 February 24 12:24 GMT (UK)  »
My Ancestry DNA profile reached 500 4th cousins this morning.  How common is this? (My wife's is at 370).

Despite this some lines have yet to reveal any 3rd cousins let alone 4th cousins

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Ancestry - subscription needed to see shared matches

Maybe Ancestry's owners, the Blackstone Group, think they could increase their revenues. I've avoided  having an Ancestry sub but it will make tracing DNA contacts difficult if trees and common ancestors need a sub. And what about Thrulines?

I am set up disabled but it is still asking me for a sign in :(

The code sent via email does not work, tried 3 times and it was the same number.
I had the same trouble so had to use the phone option
