Use Excel's native Filter capability on the ICW Admin on the Edges tab to select a line of interest using one ICW Admin match. Group and graph. Look for another interesting match to add to the filtered ICW Admin list. Repeat until you have enough structure to give you insights. This will often lead you directly to Ancestry matches you didn't realize were in a given cluster of cousins and you can visit the match page to see if you can puzzle out the pathway to your common ancestors. Starting small and adding in people may be more productive than starting with a black blob and throwing people out. / Tom GullUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15360122348710059482noreply@blogger.com
