No CSV? Paste your match list from the company's page
You do not need a CSV file. Open the matches page at the company where the DNA was tested, scroll until the matches you want are loaded, press Ctrl+A (Cmd+A on a Mac) and Ctrl+C, then open Import match list for the kit and paste into the Paste your match list box. Saving the matches page as HTML and uploading that file works too. We recognise the company by content: Ancestry, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA, 23andMe, GEDmatch One-to-Many and Geni. From the page we read each match's name, shared cM, number of segments, longest segment, predicted relationship and side when the page shows them; a saved HTML page also gives the profile link, so a second paste updates the same matches. Where a CSV exists it is still the fullest source: FamilyTreeDNA (Family Finder CSV export), GEDmatch (One-to-Many CSV). Ancestry and MyHeritage have no match download, so copying the page is the way. If the text is not recognised, the import says what kind of text arrived and what we need: a list with a name and shared cM (or shared DNA %) for each person. The paste follows the same size limit as a file, 150 MB.
