Can I download my DNA matches?

[Romilly]

I might be missing something obvious here, but does anyone know, - I want to download my close DNA matches to send via email.

I don’t mean my ‘raw’ DNA File, - I just mean my 290 4th Cousins or closer matches.

Cheers, Romilly.

I don't think you can unless you do a screen grab or a copy.

Thanks Gadget, that’s what I thought, but it was worth a try!

I think I did it once or twice when I was helping a friend. I's a bit boring

I went through taking screenshots, and then gave up:-(

I don’t know why they can’t make it a bit more User-friendly!

I've found it more useful to select each  colour coded group and do a copy and paste for them. Filing them separately.

On your main list of matches - go to Shared DNA > select Close Matches > then Apply.

Then from this new list scroll to the very bottom.

Then select all text (Ctrl+A), copy (Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) it to your email or text doc.

That's about all you can do.

That's what I do

I'm not a DNA kind of guy.  But there appears to be several methods.
