    Hi Everyone!

    Here's a weekly update on how well people have been doing over at LostCousins.
    • 19 new members joined the LostCousins site
    • 1,010 new entries have been added and
    • -302 relatives have been matched.
    Always good to see New Members joining. Unfortunately no numbers this week are up on last week. Even more sad though, is that it looks like an account has closed which has dropped our relatives matched.

    Afraid so - a long-standing member has given up her research and decided to close her account completely. But at least she did make many connections during her membership, so her cousins will have benefited in the past.

    If you've tested your DNA you'll almost certainly have discovered new branches of your tree, as I have - remember that you can enter relatives from North American censuses as well British and Irish censuses.

    You might be too late - these days many people pick them earlier and put them in the freezer.

    Already more relatives entered since the competition began than in the whole of last week - keep it up!

    And do remember to state your preferences on the My Prizes page - I'd like to see some of the prizes and experiences going to forum members.

    • 9,172 new entries have been added and
    • 414 relatives have been matched.

    Have you selected your preference of prizes? This is a great opportunity to win some amazing prizes by simply adding your relatives to Lost Cousins.
    I've been looking back at my initial post, back in May 2013, where has the time gone? Since I started reporting these stats, Members have added 1,831,380 relatives, how amazing is that?
