GR does not have that facility. If you've been given names, you could always 'search all members trees' on a regular basis even if they are too distant to include in your own tree.

That'll keep you busy :-D

After having my DNA tested by Ancestry as a Christmas gift from my wife in 2015, I waited expecting to receive an email from my match ups, but NO six months later I discovered quite by accident I had to come up on Ancestry, login and click the DNA link in the header, then I looked at the messages envelope icon in the top right hand corner of the screen and I discovered it had a number on it indicating a DNA match up had sent me a message.
I replied to the message then had to learn how to download my Raw Data to enable me to see my matches.It was easy but they warn DO NOT UNZIP IT.
I received 78 pages of matches 77 of which contained 50 matches (about 3,850)
Be aware,,, it is necessary to login to Ancestry regularly (ie once a week is typical) to read your messages.
It is also a good idea to upload your Raw data to www.gedmatch.com as they try to match it with data on other DNA Companies such as 23 and me.
Can anyone tell me if I am able to upload my Raw Data to Genes Reunited ???
