Tool for Ancestry DNA Matches

Screenshot of FREE Ancestry DNA Match Downloader Page

Partly prompted by my update of the Internet Archive post, David Nowotnik (of a Colleyville, Texas genealogy association), sent a link from North Texas of a tool he developed to use Microsoft Excel to check for Ancestry DNA matches. The tool is free and the link is here. The page looks like the image above.

If the link doesn't work well, try this version which ought to go to the same place. If you try the tool, let Carrie Bergquist or Steve Averill know how it worked. You can also contact Dave directly at dpngenealogy at gmail dot com, but if you contact Dave, let him know you are not local or a member of "GAC (Genealogy Association of Colleyville)." The GAC home page is here. In the GAC home page group photo, David is in the back row, directly under the "1" and wearing a blue & white checked shirt. In front of him, in the front row is Leta Jones Goodman. Leta is the GAC counterpart to Carrie Bergquist, though GAC is less formal than the NBGS.

The update I made to the Internet Archive, here, concerned finding books. Internet Archive has many other tools and one I use frequently is the "Way Back Machine" which allows viewing of prior versions of web sites that have changed. There are even a couple of past versions of this site on it. Most recently, I used the Way Back tool to find some aviation history that referred to items that have since disappeared. But that is another story and I managed to get the materials after coming back up to Ocean Shores from a now-closed book store on Bainbridge Island. But THAT is a "whole 'nuther story..."
