DNA: (DO NOT ADMIT)

… And now, a call must be made to Ancestry.

The DNA Hacker had been blocked and I got on with my life. I’m just into the new year of 2024 and I’m not sure where I put that card they give you with the personal ID code. I’ll get to it eventually. Still coming off the “busyness” of the holidays when this whole thing started. Somewhere around a week or so later, managing to rifle through those places you put things so you know where to find them, (you never find them there), I finally find the dang card with the code on it. Yeah, I should probably call and get this thing straightened out. Mostly because I paid for it, and I want what I paid for. I wanna see those aunts and uncles… it they’re there.

To be clear here, I wasn’t asking why I didn’t have any DNA matches (people who are related to me, however distantly). I was asking why the “DNA Matches” button wouldn’t allow me to click, sign in, and access this juicy area of the app, the whole point of spitting into the tube! But ultimately it was a relatively easy fix. Bravo!

Now all I needed to do was log out and log back in.

So I logged out.

I logged in. One more time.

I click the “DNA Matches” button.

This is exciting! Fun!

What will I see?!

Here’s what was presented:
