No worries. Sometimes its easy to miss the simplest thing.
We have had DNA profiles since 2018 but I am only just beginning to understand the best way to use them. Have you tried grouping your matches with the Leeds Method?
That's where I started - and I am only just realising some of what that tells me.
In some ways, it depends on what you want to know from DNA matching, how to go about using DNA to further your family research.
On my Dad's side, I wanted some matches to particular families that I had theorised were the families his ancestors belonged to, lacking parish and marriage records. And after 3 years, I have solid matches and family trees to match my research.
However, the same cannot be said of my mothers ancestors. I have no useful matches, with or without trees. But there again, I don't really have any theories about where the ancestors belong - I have searched endlessly for baptisms in the places they said they were born.
