Does this comport with what y’all think? 5M seems like “a lot,” but I do find a lot more new “DNA cousins” popping in to my kits’ matchlists on AncestryDNA than on 23andMe, so, maybe so … … although it “feels to me” (again based on new matches popping in) like FTDNA’s much smaller than 23andMe … Best, Eric OpenPGP <https://keyserver.pgp.com/vkd/DownloadKey.event?keyid=0xE0F58E0F1AF7E6F2> : 0x1AF7E6F2 ● Skype: oneota ● XMPP/OTR: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ● Silent Circle: +1 312 614-0159
