Program Description

Event Details

Our July speaker will be Richard Martin speaking on GEDmatch.  GEDmatch is an online service to compare autosomal DNA data files from different testing companies (as in Ancestry.com, 23 and Me, and others). By uploading your DNA results, it is cross referenced with the results already uploaded to potentially increase the number of your ancestry matches. It is free. 

It is owned by Qiagen. The website gained significant media coverage in April 2018 after it was used by law enforcement to identify a suspect in the Golden State Killer case in California.
