Alison Countries of ancestry has a list you can download with some of the people you have matches with. Some are anonymous and some will show names. You can use the search function at 23andme to locate most of the people who show names and then invite those that you are not sharing with. You can download the countries of ancestry file for each person you share with and look for matches in common with your file.

Who are CoA matches? When you look at your dna donor's CoA page, there is a drop down menu in the upper left-- Show results for: These people seem to be the people who are your 'dna relatives' who you are also sharing genomes with? In the display of the chromosomes, there are colored blocks. If you hover a mouse over a colored block, sometimes information about 'your relative' shows up. Your relative is an anonymous match with whom you share this piece of dna on this chromosome? Other times if you hover a mouse over a colored block, information about a specific person shows up. The person does not show up in your dna donor's list of genetic relatives. There is the option to invite this person to share genomes. Are these the people you are inviting? Are these CoA matches?
