About this webinar

This presentation was originally given as part of Genetic Genealogy Ireland 2019.

 

Our DNA matches have been rapidly increasing.  We are uploading to other sites, testing more of our family, and getting more matches as the databases grow.  It's all good news, but we need to be able to manage all these matches to get the maximum benefit from our DNA test. This talk will look at the increasing database sizes, how we can upload to other sites for more matches, and then how to manage all our information. We will look at the tools on the test site that help us manage matches, and also how to use other tools like spreadsheets, DNA Painter, and even our own family tree to keep all our information in order.
