The Card view of your ThruLines list of all ancestors shows no DNA match numbers at all, so there is no way to tell which ancestors have matches descending from them without opening each one in turn. To find the ancestors with the most matches, or to spot the lines with none, means working through the whole grid one card at a time. Preload Number of Thrulines Matches loads that...
When you are comparing trees between a DNA match and yourself on Ancestry’s Compare Trees page, the surnames you share and the surnames they have are right there on screen, but there is no way to copy them to the clipboard or hand them off to another tool. Copy Surnames from Family Tree adds buttons that copy the surname lists straight to your clipboard and plug them directly into Genealogy...
The Surname Comparison Tool works best when you can feed it an entire group of related matches at once, but adding them one at a time from each Compare Trees page is slow. If you have a strong DNA match with fifty shared matches, that is fifty round trips to compare every tree in the group. Add Shared Matches to Surname Tool adds a button to the shared matches...
23andMe shows the amount of DNA you share with each relative as a percentage rather than as centimorgans, which makes it harder to scan a long list and pick out your most significant matches. 23andMe Highlight DNA Matches 50cM+ converts each percentage into a cM value, displays it next to the percentage, and highlights any match at or above your chosen threshold so the strongest connections stand out at a...
When you open the Relatives in Common list for a 23andMe match, the amount of DNA each person shares with you is given as a percentage rather than as centimorgans, which makes it hard to spot the strongest connections in the cluster. 23andMe Highlight Shared Matches 50cM+ converts each percentage into a cM value, displays it next to the percentage, and highlights anyone at or above your chosen threshold so...
23andMe does not provide a way to export your DNA Relatives list, which makes it difficult to work with your matches outside of the website or to compare different snapshots over time. 23andMe Download Matches Pages as CSV File adds a one-click download button to the DNA Relatives page that walks through your match list and saves the results to a CSV file with cM values, relationships, and...
23andMe lets you see the relatives you have in common with each match, but it does not let you export that list. Working through clusters of shared matches outside of the website, or comparing them across visits, means a lot of manual copying. 23andMe Download Shared Matches as CSV File adds a one-click download button to the Relatives in Common page that walks through the shared list and...
To check the likely relationships for a 23andMe match you have to convert the shared percentage to centimorgans, open DNA Painter’s Shared cM Tool in another tab, and paste the value in. 23andMe DNA Painter Shared cM Tool Button turns that into a single click by adding a button to each match’s profile that opens DNA Painter with the cM value already filled in.
