Show a DNA match in Family View

[Pat Koenig]

I would like to insert an icon or ? to be able to easily see that a person in Reunion is a DNA match. I've set a flag and have created a "Fact" however that's not exactly what I'm wanting. Any suggestions or is it possible? Thanks in advance!

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but the video tutorial for new features in Reunion 12 shows how to use colour tags for this sort of thing.

Thank you! I'll check that out.

So I am new to the DNA game but this is what I have decided to do in Reunion.

I have set a Flag "Ancestry DNA match" for my Ancestry DNA matches. As I get matches from other "providers" such as FTDNA, I plan to add a new Flag for these respective matches.

Also enabled Color Tag for Flag is "Ancestry DNA Match" - under the Change LHS sidebar options for both myself and similarly a different Color Tag for my spouse. It puts a small coloured "arrow" on the family card for the person with the respective Flag.

Also a Fact Field "Shared DNA" where I enter the number of cM across the number of fields for people in my Reunion tree with whom I share DNA. I initially set this as a default field for all but it annoyed me so have decided to only manually add for each in the Person fields as new matches appear.

Created a Source called "DNA" and attached the DNA text file (this will obviously be unique to me so will need to create new DNA source for each of the people I have a DNA file for.

There are obviously many ways to do this, but I have a flag called DNA Match to (my husband) and a different DNA flag for myself. I then flag the people going up the tree as "DNA Link"- and the Common Ancestor as "DNA Common Ancestor" I have added an additional default note called DNA where I record the DNA info. I also take screenshots of the DNA info and add to media. I don't do this for every DNA match- but for closer and/or significant ones.

Not sure if it helps, but you should be able to change the view so that you can customize the DNA fact appearing there.
