One can also use ToDo and Research Log to documenting progress or relationships. This can also be recorded in a Source Citation. When I enter the DNA Match I also include a WebLink in their RM Person Record to their DNA Match page for the online DNA Matching service. This is important as some go private or rename their kits. In these I document the unique kit number assigned by the online service in the Description field (usually a hexadecimal portion of the DNA MatchвЂ™s web page URL). One can also use вЂњDNA Match - AncestryвЂќ or вЂњDNA Match - MyHeritageвЂќ or even more detail name such as вЂњDNA Match - Ancestry Uncle John SmithвЂќ however the latter makes for a Fact name that is too long and may be not visible in some RM selection indexes. вЂњDNA MatchвЂќ this is useful if just tracking a single DNA kit (like just oneвЂ™s own DNA kit) in the database. In these I document as a Note the relationship path or other details. one can establish these for every generation of known/discovered couple which might be the furthest back common ancestral couple (or individual) documented. вЂњMCRA m-fвЂќ where m is the males name and f is the females name of the couple.

So instead of вЂњDNA KitвЂќ the custom fact would be вЂњDNA kit - AncestryвЂќ. If that is not appealing, then each Custom Fact can be established for each Provider. I log one custom fact of вЂњDNA kitвЂќ as the Place name = вЂњ-вЂќ (yes just a plain ol hyphen) and Place details as вЂњAncestryвЂќ, or вЂњMyHeritageвЂќ (where the DNA MatchвЂ™s kit is located online). The various Custom Facts I have for DNA tracking (beyond the RM predefined вЂњDNA testвЂќ) allows one to вЂselectвЂ™ the Person Records which contain it for Group populating membership, Color Coding, & Reports.Д®ach Custom RM Fact has a corresponding Group named exactly the same.

I use Custom Facts, Sources, & Groups in RM. It is missing in that form, but appears in RM 8 as just a plain ol вЂњDNA testвЂќ personal/individual Fact Type.

RM 7 had a DNA Fact Type where one could record Y-DNA & mtDNA specific details.

I also colour code all test takers with the one colour, so that they show up on eg descendant view as tested descendants of x y or zДЄnd pop their GEDmatch ID in the suffix field and eg ancestry username in the nickname for quick referenceД«asically my main RM database is one large quick tree, with many many unlinked nodes, specifically for keeping track of DNA matches and investigationsДЄs I also use Charting companion to do DNAMatrix (Maguire charts) every so often I also include a custom DNA Kit fact type with the description being the kit identifier on the company they were found at Once back far enough, using the FamilySearch tree / links to import earlier generations until I, hopefully, hit someone on FamilySearch already marked as being in my database o I can connect them up. If I also find them in the match list of other tested people whose kit I manage or access I add addtional sources for each with their match details. With a source of the tester / company the match was found from along with the details of the match in that source, including my notes as to shared matches, my ideas of MRCA etc What did you do in RM7, if you used it ?ДЄny match вЂњof interestвЂќ as a person in my DNA database
