Why uploading my DNA data to Geneanet?
Geneanet is the most important genealogy website in Europe. More than 7 billion individuals are indexed thanks to 4 million members worldwide and more than 1 million family trees shared.
A service for finding your DNA relatives
This service allows you to find relatives who have taken a DNA test with any provider. In this way, all people who have taken a DNA test can meet on Geneanet.
And if you publish your family tree, some options will help you find the common ancestors you share with your DNA relatives:
- Some common data can be found in your family tree and the ones of your DNA relatives. This will let you know the family names and place names you share with your DNA relatives, and to find common ancestors.
- If you are a Premium member, you can automatically get the list of common ancestors you share with your DNA relatives.
If you don’t have a Geneanet family tree, don’t hesitate to create it. You can also import a GEDCOM file if you already have a family tree on another genealogy website or software. You will get access to all Geneanet DNA options!
Most of our members have a Geneanet family tree so you can easily find your common ancestors.
A free service
Geneanet DNA is a free service. Unlike some other websites, you can upload your DNA data, publish your family tree, contact a DNA relative, browse their family tree, and find common family names and place names, for free.
The Premium subscription is not required to use this service. It offers additional options like the automatic family tree matching.
