Tools for effective use of your DNA (Maurice Gleeson)

You just got your DNA results, you have more than a thousand matches, how do you organise yourself so that you reap the maximum benefits from your results?

This talk reviews tools to help you sort and organise your matches so that you can identify thru which ancestor you are related to each of your matches. It also explores tools for estimating the precise relationship between you and each match. We also explore tools for identifying triangulated segments. And lastly we discuss how to reconstruct an ancestor's DNA.

Tools included are:
FTDNA's paternal & maternal buckets feature
Ancestry's coloured dots / buttons
Autoclustering tools (Genetic Affairs, Gedmatch)
Autosomal DNA Matrix tools (Gedmatch)
Shared cM Tool (DNA Painter)
WATO (DNA Painter)
