Imagine my surprise when I looked at my first cousin's and my DNA Gedmatch comparison which I've done in the past and it came up with no matches - I looked at it closer and saw not my name but Halina B on my account#.  What in the world is going on???  I've done some other comparisons since I joined Wikitree that should have given me something but nothing has turned up - is it because my account is messed up???  well, I've written to GEDMATCH about this but I'm perplexed and maybe some of you are having a similar issue...so I urge you to make sure when you do a DNA comparison at GEDMATCH that your name does show up with your number as something is obviously wrong here!!!  For me, this has only happened since I joined Wikitree and I am wondering if there is a connection though I certainly hope not.

The person I was trying to compare to here is my known first cousin so it should have been a no brainer comparison...I have done it before on gedmatch and it was beautiful!
