Cluster Overlap
Do you ever feel like you've figured out a new way to cluster matches and then realize that those clusters you thought you had found included matches from distinctly separate areas of your tree? Well, that was my experience when I expanded my mountain/valley analysis of my Crawford line.

DNA Clusters: Mountains and Valleys
Dana Leeds' recent blog post about "Who Is in a Cluster" demonstrates that although all people in a cluster share DNA with one person in the cluster, they don't necessarily share DNA with another member of the cluster.
Curious as to what this would look like with my Crawford branch of my tree, I looked at the DNA matches I share with a first cousin once removed. At first, I was trying to map out all of my known matches. However, this became cumbersome since I have a lot of 2nd cousin matches. As I was creating my matches diagram, I realized that I needed to be looking for matches that were for the different surnames.

Timelines - Cluster Research
Do you use timelines in your genealogy research? I'm guessing that most people who have been searching their family history for some time have used some sort of timeline.
When I retired and starting spending more time researching my family tree, I created a spreadsheet for my Crawford family research.
In the spreadsheet, I was able to color code the people, locations and time periods. All of this information was copied from my RootsMagic data into the spreadsheet.
It wasn't until I read Randy Seaver's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Make a Timeline Report blog that I seriously looked at the Timeline Report in RootsMagic. Thanks to his post, I started looking at the built-in timelines on Ancestry and within RootsMagic.
