How do I get DNA matches to show?

Question

I seem to have several people who I match on Gedcom who are on Wikitree but they are not showing as matches on WikiTree. How do I make that happen?

Answer 1

You need to both be connected to a fairly recent common ancestor, 3rd cousins or a similar close relationship for both of you to show on ancestors you share. Also, those folks trees may not go back as far as yours does and/or there could be duplicate profiles.

Comments

If you have found them on wikitree, have you tried to send a message to the PMs?  Have you tried the 'Relationship to Me' option under the Wikitee ID in the menu from any of those profiles? If it shows no connections, did you select the 'Search 30 generations?  That would use marriages to find a relationship. 

Whenever you have select the DNA Confirmed status on a profile, there should be a statement in the Sources section on how it was confirmed.
