I have wanted to add icons to my matches but still having trouble creating icons to use! i am not an expert so if someone has some good DNA Icons to share I would appreciate it! On the other side of that, I found a tree that had marked her entire family with a helio icon and says her whole tree has been confirmed with DNA testing!!! Really????

I consider it a confirmation if the tree branch continues to show "leaves". If a branch has one leaf and no more for the person's ancestors, then I start to question the branch.

I also use an icon but list the match user in notes. And I have an excel spreadsheet with matches listing site (ancestry, 23andme, gedmatch etc) and user name. My sheet is divided by paternal and maternal male and female, and I note the MCRA. When I'm bogged down in data it's certainly helpful.
