I am looking for examples, suggestions for keeping a record of people contacted for DNA matches. Bill

Bill I use a spreadsheet. You can put anything in a cell: a date; a copy of a whole message; etc. My spreadsheet has a row for each match with a column called sent. I have a word document with many standard messages - each with a code. When I send a message, I add the code and date in the spreadsheet in the sent cell. Also a Receive column to tract dates of replies. With thousands of Matches, this helps me keep track of which ones I've contacted and who replied. My spreadsheet also has segment info (Chr, Start, End, cM, SNP) which lets me sort by Chr and Start. This puts overlapping segments next to each other, and makes it easier to Triangulate. I can then better see the discussion with Triangulated Groups in the spreadsheet - and note any MRCAs with Matches. I need to do some blog posts on the spreadsheet system I've developed over the past 7 years...
