There is not a formal way of note-keeping for DNA matches. Most often, notes are jotted down on paper and later discarded. Airtable can be helpful for genealogists, but does not provide a visual chart for genetic lineage. Therefore, I present a unique way to map and document your relationship to Triangulation Group matches. This method applies to long-hand or in Google Docs.
A Triangulation Group Timeline is a cross sectional study of the genetic baseline, from which all TG matches share in lineal descent.
A timeline coincides with the genetic baseline, including genealogical cross section points that are essentially family historical markers.
Reverse the timeline for convenient order of documentation, from top to bottom.
The cross sections are time stamped and provide clues, such as: familiar family names and geographic locations. Patterns that guide you to the next discovery in the expanding Triangulation Group.
Brick walls can be broken in genealogy. Although if you set parameters, then you will never observe the commanding power of genetic genealogy.
