Since 23andMe started the Big Change on Nov 11 (my accounts haven’t flipped to the new interface yet, but I’ve seen all my invitations to anonymous matches disappear), some formerly anonymous matches within my 1,000-person cap (hasn’t yet gone up to the promised 2,000) seem to be converting to public. But I can’t figure out any way to quickly/easily identify them in order to send them genome-sharing invitations (the “you have to share in order to FI:A-compare” hasn’t gone away for me). Have any of you? I’m using the 23++ extension in Chrome, but I don’t see any way for them to help me easily identify to whom I need to send genome-sharing invitations since the last time I did. Am I missing something, or are we just waiting for the current “period of flux” to settle down, and then “all will be perfect”?

Do you download your entire list from time to time? If so, you could open your most recent list in Excel and highlight all the cells with some color. Then download your current list and copy-and-paste it at the end of the recent list. Ask Excel to delete duplicates (in the Data ribbon in Excel 2012). New matches and rows where anything has changed would be at the bottom without any color coding. This would include changes in their list of ancestors and other editable fields, but you could probably eyeball those, or tweak which fields you include in the deletion phase.

This is a great plan, Ann. I've been requesting the aggregated list about weekly. In the past I appended it to my spreadsheet about every 6 months, sorted by name and compared all by hand. there were always ones I had missed, somehow, and there was a small percentage with "shifted" values - but never enough to change which Triangulated Group they were in, so I don't worry about that now. Using your method to easily just sort out the new Matches will be a big time saver.

Eric Before 11 Nov, I reinvited every Anon Match, and insured an invite to every Public Match. Now, I have 23andMe on back burner, until their final switch. I hope it will be useful (and I believe it will be). I'm still getting some 23andMe Matches thru GEDmatch Jim - www.segmentology.org > On Dec 10, 2015, at 4:51 AM, Eric S Johnson via <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > Since 23andMe started the Big Change on Nov 11 (my accounts haven’t flipped > to the new interface yet, but I’ve seen all my invitations to anonymous > matches disappear), some formerly anonymous matches within my 1,000-person > cap (hasn’t yet gone up to the promised 2,000) seem to be converting to > public.
