Nearly half the tools on GEDmatch are available with free membership. And these are the tools you will use most often. They include your list of DNA relatives and your shared matches.
I have membership with Ancestry.com, 23andMe, MyHeritage, and FamilyTreeDNA. And that’s not the full list! You’ve probably tested with one of these four sites, and you’re wondering if it’s worth uploading your results to GEDmatch for the free tools. My best advice is to tell you how often I use each of the free GEDmatch features, and which tool req...
The One To Many Tool gives you your list of DNA relatives in the GEDmatch database. Like the other websites, it’s ordered in descending of centimorgans i.e. how close or distant the relationship is to you. The free tier cuts out at 3,000 matches, while the paid tier is unlimited. I check the list on a weekly basis for interesting new DNA matches.GE...
These two free tools on GEDmatch are great for beginners who are starting to learn about centimorgans and segments: 1. Archaic DNA Matches 2. Ancestor Projects
There are two different chromosome browsers available with the free membership. If you’re coming from Ancestry, you may not have used a browser before. These tools don’t just tell you how many centimorgans you share. They show you the positions right down at the chromosome level. It’s well worth taking a bit of time and practice to understand the b...

I’ve already mentioned that I consider the Segment Search tool to be worth the cost alone. But what about the other projects? Here’s my pick of the best paid features: 1. Better One-To-Many tool 2...
Most of the DNA testing companies provide an ethnicity breakdown that attempts to estimate your ethnic heritage within the last few hundred years. It’s important to understand that GEDmatch ethnicity features attempt to provide estimates going back thousands of years. If you’re trying to use ethnicity features to guide research of your family tree,...
We estimate that GEDmatch has over 1.4 million DNA kits, just behind FamilyTreeDNA. The GEDmatch DNA database is considerably smaller than Ancestry, 23andMe, and MyHeritage. (You can find a full review of DNA database sizes here). However, Ancestry and 23andMe don’t allow uploads from other sites. MyHeritage and FamilyTreeDNA are like GEDmatch in t...
GEDmatch has the poorest family tree features of the major DNA sites. You can upload your family tree to GEDmatch, but you can’t edit it on the website. The family tree display is in a spidery text format that isn’t easy to read. This is probably part of the reason why many of your DNA matches do not have family trees on GEDmatch. However, people w...
The GEDmatch website was originally set up by two hobbyists as a personal project. As the years went by, it was beginning to look very dated! When the website was purchased by new owners Verogen, many hoped to see changes to make the display more user-friendly. In 2021, the website was given a facelift. The biggest changes are to the Home page, mak...
