No 3cM is useless for finding relatives focus on 11cM or larger at this level 95% of the matches are within a genealogical time frame. Disregard anything lower than 7cM if you are looking for matches within a genealogical time frame. At the 5cM level I match a Bronze age archaic DNA sample and one from the Neolithic period.
