It's the great equalizer across multiple platforms. Due to participation by others (people) from different companies, you get free or low cost access to a diagnostic tool that brings in matches that you would otherwise not see.
GEDmatch is the only online company that is able to make DNA comparisons precisely.
The ability to compare 'In Common With' matches. A brilliant tool for seeing who is a member of which family (or not!). The Information is easily downloadable / copied for local analysis. Having TREES is the key to successful match analysis. How else can I 'see' my 5th & 6th cousins if folk do not research families during 1700s?
I have been a subscriber for over 10 years. This site has the best DNA analysis tools of any site, hands down. It's a pity more people don't upload or add their trees.
Anyone, even novices, at geneology can start finding connections. There are a number of interesting tools you can use to discover and explore many different avenues of your genetic past. No matter what company you may have started your DNA journey with, you can continue here. Download the digital file from the company you used and upload it to the GEDmatch site. If you've not used your DNA kit to research outside the company you purchased it from, this site opens a whole new world of potential. Plus they've added Family Tree building options. There is a lot
Great site for reseaching family and seeing matches that have up loaded their dna from other sites. Totally adictive too. You can see who matches you and also matches another person and see if your parents are related.

It was good, but I only got to use the website for less than a day until my account got blocked, and now every time I try log in it says access denied contact gedmatch support as it thinks I'm a bot. I've tried contacting Gedmatch support 3 times, and I've gotten 0 replies over the last week and a half. Now I don't know what to do!

The most comfort and smart DNA comparison online service so far. Definitely my choice #1
Without a doubt the best facility for DNA research.
Without a doubt, Gedmatch is the best for helping locate and PROVE genetic familial matches. I've been using Gedmatch for years, and through their excellent DNA matching, and my DNA, I've been able to help a couple people determine and locate who their bio fathers were. I've also solved a couple of "family mysteries" of my own using Gedmatch. I HIGHLY recommend using them!
me and my family have found and received information and proven to be true - thanks to you we have been able to do very valuable research and really... the truth is many times more wonderful than fiction. I encourage all members to use this wonderful tool - thank you GEDmatch <3
Very useful site for matching various relationships with other researchers
Gedmatch is one of the most reliable genealogy references. It has a lot of information available and some trick tools that can be used by subscription. I have solved numerous family mysteries from information on Gedmatch. It works and the genetic information is solid.
