I would add that IMHO if you don't have a triangulated match with overlapping chromosomes, you are kidding yourself about "matches". Triangulate means more than one cousin descended from the same common ancestor or at the very least, the same surname in the same area awaiting the common ancestor.

I learned pretty quickly that when I started using GedMatch and FTDNA, many of my so called matches fell apart.

And FTDNA's spreadsheet from the chromosome browser has been a godsent. My spreadsheet isn't fancy but it makes seeing possible cousin groupings ever-so-much easier.

So keep begging Ancestry for the necessary tools to use the POSSIBLE matches we all have.
