* Ancestry ThruLines have added about 4.5 "Common Ancestors" matches per month, while MyHeritageDNA has added about 0.2 Theory of Family Relativity matches per month.
* Over 44 months, all of the autosomal DNA providers have added only 5 high-value matches (1% or more DNA sharing) to my match lists.
* FamilyTreeDNA's decision to exclude small DNA segments really affected my match list!
