Andreas, I had been under the (perhaps mistaken) impression that those who had public names (and would be reported in the Countries of Ancestry download) would still be available to receive genome sharing invitations following the transformation. This is something I'd like to do eventually anyway, but is it necessary to do before the website changes?

Greg, you will still only have 2000 matches, 7cM up. CoA gives you random public subset of 1000, but 5cM up, so there are definitely gonna be novel matches you never gonna find elsewhere.

Kuba Keep in mind that a large percentage of those small and tiny matches are going to be false positives. I prefer to spend my time working with larger matches (12cM and larger) which are less likely to be false positives.
