What is GEDmatch

GEDmatch is a website for genetic genealogy research. Anyone can upload their DNA file, analyse results, and compare DNA shared with others. GEDmatch is a free DNA comparison and analysis website for people who have tested their autosomal DNA using a direct-to-consumer genetic testing company, such as Ancestry, 23andMe, FTDNA, or have a custom file from other sources. GEDmatch processes the file, adds it to a genealogical database, and provides applications for matching and further analysis. From amateurs to professionals, genealogists, historians, researchers, and adoptees have leveraged the large pool of data on the site to build family trees, find birth families, and learn more about their DNA and by extension, their history.
