By the way, i believe you can still download to your computer all the matches you previously had on ancestry (your list of V1 matches). I believe that will show you who you had before, along with notes and I think hints or some other information on the match. If you haven't done that already, you should asap as they said it would only be available for a limited period of time...go to your dna home page, select settings, on the right side of page is the option to download all old matches.
At bit tedious, but you can retrieve some information by downloading the original match list with user names etc
