I have 500 people that I would need to download their CoA files, way too many.

If you do some COA every day, 500 is possible. I've done 375 over the past few days, so am close to half through the task. Not that I am enjoying it, but doing one letter of the alphabet per day (minimum) is working. However, I haven't yet re-invited anyone. If someone has a particularly successful re-invitation script, I'm sure many of us would be interested.

Thanks everyone. I have over 2000 in my COA. I started downloading them but only one of my computers has a spread sheet program on it. I am also hampered by remodeling on my home and the needs of family member. I gave up on re-inviting because it is too time consuming.Then I have had acceptance come four year later. My biggest success has been with public matches. I have had a few first time acceptance. now back to inviting. Several of my profiles have almost two thousand relatives. Thanks again.

For people who are downloading hundreds of files, what are your plans for using them? I used Countries of Ancestry very heavily to triangulate people who appear on the lists of known cousins (e.g. John Smith is on my list and also on the list of my second cousin), so I'm just downloading the pertinent lists.

I have not previously made much use of COA except for known relatives (few at 23andMe), but I don''t want to lose the option of working with the information in the manner described by Jim.
