Lois, If your cousin put he wanted to be notified if someone was a match then all is not lost. You will be notified. For me that won't work because my Cooper is a female and if people are not willing to share this information they are in my opinion are selfish and only care about their line and do not want to connect up with other people from the same family who could have information that could help them establish a migration pattern and help then understand their family. A DNA test will not tell you about your family only that they are family. Good Luck and Happy Hunting. Just my thoughts.
