| 2021-03-08 |  | | 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. | |
| 2019-01-22 |  | | 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. | |

| 2017-08-11 |  | | As long as 23andMe doesn't change their page formatting it work great. In combination with Gephi 0.9 you can see all or at least most of the interconnections among your matches. You are presented with an initial mess but using the Layout window you can reposition the matches to give you a visual view of these connections making more sense of the interrelationships. | |

| 2016-05-18 |  | | Until I was switched to the new 23andme website. Now I can't even access the 529andYou database the extension generates. | |
| 2015-12-15 |  | | I was loving this extension as the data it collected could be imported into GenomeMate, and then 23&me came out with their new and not yet improved website. It you are planning to adapt to the new site, I have experience testing and recreating scenarios that produce the unexpected results. I'm willing to help if desired. | |
| 2015-07-30 |  | | So simple yet powerful! Especially if you want to generate comparison for all of your shared matches with a new kit in your profile, this is godsend. | |
| 2015-01-11 |  | | Very helpful in adding info from 23andme to GenomeMate! |
