In those Notes I've entered a code for every Common Ancestor I've found (ex: 36P/4C1R) and/or every Match with segment data (from GEDmatch or another company) - an example of ...

Thank you Jonathan for your comment, and for creating your Shared Clustering tool. See my next blog post Comparing Genetic Clusters that compares the specific results.

There used to be more, but I got a bunch of questions quickly from people confused about which file to use where.
