  • How to Upload Ancestry DNA Results to gedmatch com

    This video shows you step by step how to download your DNA data from ancestry.com and upload it to gedmatch.com

  • We Were Asked If AfricanAncestry.com Tests Can Be Used to Find Family, Real Living Relatives. The Answer is No. They Test YDNA or MtDNA which is about Less than 1 % of Your DNA. We Use Autosomal DNA which is a different part of your DNA.

    Regarding our project, to participate in Finding Real African family , You MUST take an autosomal DNA test with Ancestry , 23andme, Myheritage, FTDNA or LivingDNA. They provide a DNA matching service. African Ancestry does not provide this. Maybe they will in the future.

  • Some Kits Are No Longer in Our Project

    You must maintain a copy of your one to one comparisons . This is why you must contact us as soon as you see the match so we can connect you. Keep a copy of the 1 to 1 Gedmatch comparison. We can not search on Gedmatch and compare for you but we provide step by step instructions.

  • Guideline Reminder

If you found the match through gedmatch.com or www. myheritage.com you must use their terms and policies regarding the accuracy of the matches.
