My husband and I got our DNA tested with Ancestry a few years back. It seems about once a month that another cousin pops up for one or the other of us.

Most people do not put even a basic tree up so I can find out where the match is so those matches are basically useless.

If you have not put up a tree, think about doing so. Just list the dead if you wish, but if there a people who end up being a DNA match that could help you figure out the relationships.

Good luck with your research!
