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.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / LivingDNA
« on: Thursday 06 February 20 20:26 GMT (UK) »I recently completed a DNA tested with Ancestry. As many of you will be aware there many "matches" Of course most of the matches were very low cM counts.
I uploaded to Heritage and familytree DNA with the same result.
Two weeks after uploading to Living DNA - not a single match!
Convinced that there was a problem with the upload and after several e mails to their support, I was advised that there was indeed not a single match.
Has any one experienced this?
