User reviews
Doesn't seem to work any more. First error is : Failed to parse Relatives in Common table, and then 23andme drives on to onto Captcha and nothing can be done. This issue has been reported before on other sites but no response has appeared. Sad that another great idea is being provented from operation.

It's 2019, now, and 529andYou works great!
The 529andYou matches reports are very helpful, even without getting into the GEXF data plots.
The Delete All 529andYou Data button is a bit large: don't click on it by accident! Back up your data.
There is a learning curve for GEXF. I watched lots of YouTube videos to learn how to use it. GEXF is a generalist tool; you will have to experiment to get the useful results you want (for example, I remove myself, my mother, my sister, and my son from the database before plotting clusters of relationships). I'm trying now to learn how to manipulate the data in the database to get even more meaningful plots of data (I want to pull out how my mother and father are related).
I wish there were a way to download data for all of my matches at once: I have 1056 matches, and my mother has 1062. It's going to take at least a day of paging through every match's page to acquire all that data.
I've enjoyed this extension a great deal, and learned a lot, not just about my genealogy, but about how these graphs work.
