In the last post, I presented a strategy for expanding a genetic network of shared matches all within a DNA testing website. The strategy is called Viewed Match Switching. Now, I present a similar but more holistic strategy using Gephi network graphs. This process is more demanding of our mental and computational resources, but it … Read more
If you’re using genetic networks to analyze your DNA matches, then you need to also use viewed match switching. This DNA analysis strategy helps you find more relevant matches for the ancestor being researched and construct a more robust proof argument. I first introduced viewed match switching in my genetic network blog series in its … Read more
Our ancestors left us clues in the documents they created to help us with our genealogical research. You just need to follow the “genealogical breadcrumbs” to discover that next elusive generation. However, sometimes the path they left is not so clear, and we can be deceived into jumping down rabbit holes of distracting, irrelevant, but … Read more
