Hello,

I would recommend Ancestry.com. In my experience, at 23andme only a
small minority is interested in genealogy (most want the health report).
Ancestry has the largest database of all; you can upload your Ancestry
raw data to FTDNA, gedmatch and to MyHeritage. As MyHeritage is an
Israeli owned company, I would expect to find there many matches.

Best regards

Tobias Kemper
