How many DNA matches should I expect 5 years after test with Ancestry please?

I've just looked at the matches that my nephew and niece (siblings) have :

Niece - 21211 Nephew - 23983

So very little difference.

I have 407matches higher than 4th cousin

My paternal aunt has 472 tested 2017 for.her.90 th birthday

My mother whose DNA was the first to be tested  hit over  1000 matches years ago

My maternal cousin tested in 2019 has recently reached 1000

Most.of his matches seem to come from mother's side .his 2 uncles don't have descendants and paternal grandmother + grandfather were only children too

My cousin has far more matched from his 15 percent European Jewish ethnicity and some of his matches are higher than to my mother who is 25 percent Jewish
I show up as 13 percent Jewish
So that clearly shows my cousin has inherited more of our Latvian great grandfather s blood than me .and it makes significant differences

A lot of my Jewish matches show up on shared matches even at 8 or 9 cm .

Have you used a chromosome browser to see the differences between you?

Thought I would take the plunge Gadget but a couple of questions.

Do you have to pay for them all?

Any particular site recommended?

Thanks, Pheno

Gedmatch is free.  I tend to use My Heritage as I have more matches on there. Ancestry doesn't have one.

Add - you could upload your data to My Heritage but you'd have to pay a small fee. I'm not sure what it is though.
