Has anyone on this forum used DNAgedcom and found it useful? If so, what are the benefits?

Yes--I use it in two ways. First, it has a chromosome matching display that makes it easy to identify groups of people who share the same segment. Second, I download the DNAGedcom files to GenomeMate where I can integrate results from all three testing companies and Gedmatch.

"We wish we had better news for you but I am afraid that many with Ashkenazi heritage have a difficult time in getting their files that contain all their matches' information because they are so large."

So - if you are of Ashkenzi heritage, it probably will not be helpful.
