Free Printable DNA Match Tracker — Genealogy PDF

Turn a match list into a research plan

A DNA match tracker captures shared centimorgans, the company’s predicted relationship, cluster clues, and your working hypothesis.

Group rows by maternal/paternal cluster using Shared matches / cluster.

Confirm tree links with census logs and ancestor profiles — DNA alone is not a full proof.

Practical setup tips

Before printing the DNA Match Tracker, decide what one row represents and how often the page will be reviewed. That keeps the sheet from becoming a catch-all notes page and makes the finished record easier to compare with similar pages in the same binder or workflow.

• Match name should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.
• cM / seg should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.
• Predicted rel. should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.
• Shared matches / cluster should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.
• Hypothesis / notes should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.

If the printable is part of a formal, financial, medical, legal, or compliance workflow, use it as a planning and note-taking aid alongside the official system or professional guidance that applies to your situation.
