I have been adding Notes to my AncestryDNA "4th Cousins or Better" matches over the past year or so. It's been frustrating to have to click the Note icon in order to see the Note text.
<p>Earlier this year, I was introduced to the MedBetter DNA Chrome extension and downloaded it to my computer, and have been using it.</p>
<p>The MedBetter DNA page:</p>
<p></p>
<div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; <img border=" imageanchor="1" 0"="" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1366" height="358" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R7qyflbW0dw/W6v7uSj-HAI/AAAAAAABabU/LPRpKU1cTrQYI4tu78Fx-zrC4nS3o_YWQCEwYBhgL/s640/medb-02.png" width="640"></div>]
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center; </div> <br/> The text says:<p><span style=" separator"="" color:="" purple;="" "enhance="" dna="" match="" experience="" for="" ancestry="" site<="" pan="">
<span style="color: purple; <br/></span> <span style=" color:="" purple;="" "medbetterdna="" version="" 3.0 ="" doubles="" the="" number="" of="" hashtag="" filters="" from="" previous="" version.="" medbetterdna="" can="" help="" people="" who="" have="" taken="" ancestrydna="" test.="" extension="" enhances="" results="" website="" experience="" by="" adding="" more="" filtering="" options="" for="" (possibly="" many="" thousands="" of)="" other="" are="" listed="" as="" potential="" dna="" matches.<="" pan="">

<div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; <img border=" imageanchor="1" 0"="" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1366" height="358" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CPYemA054Mw/W6v8INMGWII/AAAAAAABabg/3VJikkk_SwgxAS3oPFQsyJAcV5WvL_EAwCLcBGAs/s640/medb-03.png" width="640"></div>]</span></span>
</div>
The only thing I changed was I clicked on "Always show Notes" and added six Filters so I can see which matches are connected to a specific surname.
<p>I had to "Save" that, then when I opened my AncestryDNA Match list, the Notes showed up without having to click on the "Note" icon:</p>
<p></p>
<div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; <img border=" imageanchor="1" 0"="" data-original-height="374" data-original-width="668" height="358" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-11aNjcxzrNo/W6v7Zv5dEHI/AAAAAAABabI/1d3hHdVbvvccF1pHqgdvSaXsgR6lX08lQCEwYBhgL/s640/medb-04.JPG" width="640"></div>]
That's better!
<p>I have been working on my Notes also. The items I presently include (in text, rather than abbreviations), are:</p>
<p>* Number of centiMorgans and segments
* Known relationship
* Common ancestors (if unknown, then which surnames might be common ancestors based on "Shared Matches")
* Size of tree (tiny, small, medium, big, large)
* Number of Shared matches (few, some, many)
* Is line in my RootsMagic tree?
* Is DNA match in other DNA lists?</p>
<p>What other item should I put in my Notes on AncestryDNA?</p>
