Twice in the last couple days, I’ve noticed someone who appears on my wife’s 23andMe DNA Relatives matchlist (marked with a P), and who shares DNA (e.g. a 16-cM HIR) with my wife’s dad and uncle in 23andMe’s DNA Compare, doesn’t show up in my wife’s dad’s 23andMe DNA Relatives matchlist. My wife’s dad’s 23andMe DNA Relatives matchlist has 1872 people in it; I thought the limit was 2000, so people shouldn’t be “falling off of” his matchlist (because their share with him is “smaller than the 2000th-largest”), right? (In both cases, this DNA cousin does appear on my wife’s uncle’s 23andMe DNA Relatives matchlist 1627 people. In both cases, this was someone who “accepted a genome-sharing invitation” I’d sent much earlier, from my wife’s profile.) Any idea why this DNA cousin doesn’t show up in my wife’s dad’s matchlist?

The 2000 cap refers to the number of matches that are loaded into a cache for rapid access. Not all of those matches are participating in DNA Relatives. As you get newer and stronger matches, smaller matches will scroll off your list. That may account for the lack of a match on the father's list. You can get a feel for the size of new segments by sorting your list by most recent first, then scanning the first couple of pages for the smallest match. Right now I'm running about 18 cM (0.25%). The father can send a request to share through the Share and Compare tool. This will not count against the cap.

I wish they would scroll off for my profiles. 7000+ matches on each profile and the incessant timeouts make 23andMe useless to me anymore -----Original Message----- From: GENEALOGY-DNA [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ann Turner Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2017 7:02 PM To: DNA Genealogy Mailing List Subject: Re: [DNA] losing 23andMe cousins The 2000 cap refers to the number of matches that are loaded into a cache for rapid access.
