By default, MyHeritage sorts shared matches by the cM you share with them, not the cM the match in front of you shares with them. The strongest mutual relationships are often hidden several pages down. MyHeritage Default Sort by Highest Mutual Matches flips the sort so the largest mutual matches always appear at the top.
Whenever you open...
To check the likely relationships for a MyHeritage DNA match you have to copy the shared centimorgan value, open DNA Painter’s Shared cM Tool in another tab, and paste the number in. MyHeritage DNA Painter Shared cM Tool Button turns that into a single click by adding a button on the match page that opens DNA Painter with the shared cM already filled in.
By default, MyHeritage shows 10 DNA matches per page, which means a lot of clicking to get through your match list. MyHeritage Always Display 50 Matches in List changes this so that every page of your match list loads 50 matches at a time.
Whenever you open a MyHeritage DNA match list, Genealogy Assistant updates the page-size parameter...
Stepping through a long set of FamilySearch images one page at a time is slow, and the only way to jump further is to type a number into the image input. FamilySearch Advanced Paging for Image Viewer adds a row of skip buttons that move you forward and backward by 2, 10, 25 or 50 images at a time so you can scan through a film much faster.
The FamilySearch Research Wiki has detailed pages for thousands of localities, but you have to leave the profile, open the wiki, and copy the place name across to find them. FamilySearch Add Search Wiki Link to Places puts a one-click Search Wiki link next to every place on a person’s profile so the right wiki page is always one click away.
The default FamilyTreeDNA matches list has very low contrast, making it hard to scan through your matches and pick out the ones you care about. FamilyTreeDNA Match List Improvements applies a set of small visual tweaks to the matches page so the toolbar, search box, tab links and tree-relationship pills all stand out more clearly.
Whenever you open your FamilyTreeDNA Family Finder matches list,...
To check the likely relationships for a FamilyTreeDNA Family Finder match you have to copy the shared centimorgan value, open DNA Painter’s Shared cM Tool in another tab, and paste the number in. FamilyTreeDNA DNA Painter Shared cM Tool turns that into a single click by adding a link to every match card that opens DNA Painter with the shared cM already filled in.
FamilyTreeDNA does not let you tag or organise your Family Finder matches into your own custom groups, which makes it difficult to track research clusters across visits. FamilyTreeDNA Add Groups to Matches List adds a full grouping system on top of the matches page so you can create coloured groups, assign matches to them, and see who belongs to what at a glance.
