The video of me talking about GEDmatch tools at the i4gg conference is available from http://i4gg.org/

I also have many blog posts about GEDmatch, see http://blog.kittycooper.com/tag/gedmatch/

My presentation slides are always available at the slides site - slides.com/kittycooper

Basic Home Page at GEDmatch

Clicking on a top menu item gets a pulldown list of everything in that box on the home page

My new Tier 1 version of the one to many with tag groups

The one to many with tag groups for a close cousin tells me quickly how they are related because the kit numbers from my tag groups are highlighted with that color

Adding a tag group, select name and color

You can change the name or color in the "Edit Group Attributes"

Clicking on WIKI in the one to many takes you to their WIKItree compact tree

Another way Tag Groups are used is the multiple kit analysis

A maximum of 15 kits can be displayed at once (Genesis allows more)

• The color coding is the size range in cMs (the graph is in base pairs).

The GEDmatch 2-D Chromosome Browser

• Each person is a different line rather than a different color

• Old branch means that it is an overlap (not necessarily a match) to a previous person, a white line connects to that person

The 3D chromosome browser charts

The charts that you get wth the 3D browser are my favorite part, number of segments, autosomal, and X all on one page

The Segment CSV file gives you the actual chromosomes and matches

Part of a Matching Segment Report

All the information needed for a Master Spreadsheet is in the Matching Segment Report
