I'm always interested to hear of the new members and new entries. Perhaps one day someone will match with me:)!

Perhaps time to revisit your My Ancestors page - you must surely have discovered some new branches in the past few years? The new GRO birth indexes make it so much easier to track female relatives after 1837.

Peter do you know how many matches you cleared from that test account? I can then update the entries.

Hi Everyone!

Here's a weekly update on how well people have been doing over at LostCousins.
  • 57 new members joined the LostCousins site
  • 13,061 new entries have been added and
  • 78 relatives have been matched.

Always good to see New Members joining. Lots of new entries so good work by the members. Surprising low number of matches, don't know if someone has closed an account but would have expected matches to be a lot higher.

low number of matches

Well over half of the entries were from the US 1940 census - which is so new that there might not have been any matches at all. Fewer than 10% of the matches were from the 1881 Census, which produces 90% of all matches.
 
It's good that we're expanding into the US Censuses, it should please some members.

Always good to see New Members joining. All numbers up this week apart from New Entries. Ratio of new entries to matches was 14.26, so roughly on average every 14th person added made a new match.

New Members and Relatives added up this week. But again a surprisingly small number of relatives matched. Maybe another batch of US relatives have been added?

Sorry, I have not been very active recently in adding census references as I have been rather busy absorbing the details of a mountain of relatives uncovered by a DNA match.

My 2G GF was captain of a ship which came to NZ over 150 years ago. He was father to a single daughter born in Napier who later married and gave rise to a few blood relatives that I have just been told about by a 2nd cousin identified by the DNA match. There are now over 90 of my 3rd cousins living in NZ who are descendants of that one child !!

The cost of sending birthday and Christmas cards is likely to bankrupt me.
