A fundamental tool for genetic genealogy, although not for laymen, it helps a lot to find relatives and cross informations for common matches.

The site has been very helpful

Making connections with other family…

Making connections with other family trees and DNA projects, GEDmatch.com has helped me get closer to finding family matches that give me more insight to my 2nd great-grandfather's parents, siblings, areas where they lived and moved from before family coming to America. Wish GEDmatch.com would be able to somehow advertise a link on each of the DNA vendors out there to further educate the public as a whole about their mission to have as many folks as possible download their raw DNA, join GEDmatch.com and become a worldwide site of bringing families together from their homeland back in history.

Excellent site

Excellent site, especially because it shows the matches on the chromosomes.

I think gedmatch is amazing!

I think gedmatch is amazing and I wouldn’t be without it.

Excellent resource for working on…

Excellent resource for working on genetic genealogy. Between Gedmatch for identifying chromosome and segment and using paper documents, many of my brick walls have come down. Highly recommend.

Absolutely love it

Absolutely love it. Easy to navigate.

I love Gedmatch and have been using it for years

I love Gedmatch and have been using it for some years. The tools available are great, and I do use Tier 1 tools from time to time to help figure out relationships. I've tracked down a number of relatives through the site which has added a lot to my ever growing family tree. Being able to compare kits is a great tool and I've been working out the chromosomes that I share with matches which helps figure out where they fit. Love it and couldn't work without it!

I love how regardless of what company…

I love how regardless of what company one's DNA test is with, you will be matched on GED if they register. I love all the tools provided. GED is just 100% awesome. Thank you for making it happen for so many xx

I absolutely love it

I absolutely love it! It took ages to understand it but perseverance paid off and I now pay monthly for Tier 1 as it offers so much. I've broken down so many proverbial 'brick walls' which I could never have done by comparing the chromosomes of people I suspected of being related to. GEDmatch (combined with DNA Painter) is a 'wonder tool'! There are many good online tutorials and user groups on Facebook which are a great help. I couldn't imagine giving it up now.

The information I gleaned from this…

The information I gleaned from this site is second to none. GEDmatch is an excellent site to research your roots and origins as well as locate blood relatives.

It has given me a great many insights into my family allowing me to make connections and figure out my great grandmother's origins and realize that we all are descendants of pedigree collapse. Hahaha and that the information my mother gave or didn't give can be corroborated here. Having 40 kits on gedmatch makes me a bit of noodge but my family's indulging me and taking tests has also been most gratifying.

I use GEDmatch every single day

I use GEDmatch every single day. There are so many options to what is possible. I have learned so much about myself and my families. Additionally, i have made wonderful friends among my matches! I do not feel fearful sharing on the site. What would make it better is if more people would download their family trees (GEDcoms). You would not believe all the possibilities available once your family tree is downloaded.

Fantastic resource and easy to use

Fantastic resource and easy to use. Upload your raw DNA from whichever company you tested with, ie Ancestry, 123.com etc (there are details on all these sites about how to get your raw data) then you'll get a number ie ZK123456. You can then use the free tools on the Gedmatch website to see who you are related to. You compare their number with yours. Massive amount of free resources on the Gedmatch website, highly recommend.

Ancestor DNA Verification

GEDmatch has enabled me to verify relationships between ancestors by connecting me to already verified descendants.

GEDmatch is our lifeline to doing…

GEDmatch is our lifeline to doing family and group DNA research and discovery. Safe and protected, but yet we can use the various research models to investigate our ancestry. If you belong to a family Ancestry group, you have to have GEDmatch!

I can't live without Gedmatch!

I have been using Gedmatch for breaking down genealogical brick walls and all the tests offered are superb. I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for Gedmatch which offers an amazing array of ways to search for lost ancestors. Anytime I have had help from the Gedmatch team they have been prompt and most helpful. Thank you to everyone who keeps this site working at the highest quality.
