Followup to last weeks Leeds presentation -  In my effort to cover the topic in the time allowed, I was using a very simplified data set that was edited (think one of those home shows) for time.  If you are trying to create your own spreadsheet from memory of my steps, take heart, Dana Leeds will walk you thru in her blog posts (Links in the handout and here).  I wish you much fun and success. As always start small and give yourself permission to start over when you start to get the hang of it.   https://www.danaleeds.com/leeds-method-dna/ I like this description too. https://www.yourdnaguide.com/leeds-method Good luck with your DNA Match sorting!
