Introducing Notes for Kits and GEDCOMs on GEDmatch!

We’re thrilled to announce an exciting new feature for GEDmatch users—Notes for Kits and GEDCOMs! Designed to enhance your genealogy research experience, this feature helps you stay organized while keeping your insights private.

What’s New?

With the new Notes feature, you can now:

• Add Private Notes to your own kits or kits that appear in one-to-many results. These notes are accessible only to you.

• Easily Create Notes with the new "Notes" column, featuring an "Add" button for quick and simple input.

• Use Formatting Options like bold, italics, strikethrough, and bullet points to structure your information effectively.

• Track Updates with a clear display of the last updated date on each note.

• View and Manage Notes with an "Open" link to review details or a trash icon to delete notes when no longer needed.

Why You’ll Love It

• Stay Organized: Keep track of your research insights and important details for each kit.

• Preserve Privacy: All notes are fully private—other users cannot see or access what you’ve written, even if they create notes for the same kit.

• Enhance Efficiency: Consolidate your observations effortlessly with editable, well-structured notes attached directly to your GEDmatch research.

From analyzing your one-to-many results to reviewing your uploaded kits, the Notes feature is here to streamline your genealogy research, making it more intuitive and productive.

Coming Soon

This is just the beginning! We’re excited to expand the Notes feature across other GEDmatch tools in the coming months, giving you even more ways to make your research experience exceptional.
