CGC General Meeting – August 2023 – DNA Series – Part 2
August 12, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
TOPIC: GEDMatch: What is It and How Do I Use It
Did you take a DNA test at 23andMe, but your cousin took a test at Ancestry? You cannot compare the two, nor can you see the results for other cousins that test at MyHeritage or FamilyTreeDNA, or LivingDNA. GedMatch allows you to look for DNA matches at other testing companies and expand the population you can compare to. Learn about GEDMatch, what it is, and how to use it.
