DNA matches trials and tribulations; Day 41
« on: Thursday 02 November 23 00:38 GMT (UK) »
After 41 days I finally thought I'd broken my duck on Ancestry with not one but two matches above 20cM. They also happen to have shared matches and linked trees. One tree is 753 names going back 6-7 generations, each and every name simply marked as 'private'. The other one has 4 'private; generations and from that point every female is displayed with the surname of her husband.  I wonder if some of my matches actually managed to take a test or if a nurse just happened to scoop up the drool and send it off to relieve the boredom.
