Some New Options for Your Geneanet DNA Matches

Posted by Jean-Yves on May 11, 2020

Some new options are now available for your DNA matches so you can easily see names and places shared with your DNA relatives.




To view your DNA matches, click “DNA” in the top menu bar then “View DNA matches”.

For every DNA match, you can see if there’s a family tree available, and if it’s the DNA data of the member who published the family tree or another person.

If there’s a family tree available, some suggestions of common ancestry are shown:
– Shared names in the same place
– Shared names
– Shared places.

You just have to click any name or place to discover new common ancestors!

If you already have a family tree and if you have already taken a DNA test, you can upload them all to Geneanet to easily find new relatives in our huge family tree database.

Important: Please click this link for any legal question.

How do I obtain a copy of the DNA I match with a cousin so I can paste it into DNA Painter?


I’m searching for a way to add notes to DNA matches and see the response that the option isn’t available. Is it planned?

Answer from Geneanet: Hi, this is not planned at this time, but we are aware this feature interests some members, so that may change. As a possible workaround, you could export cousin data to CSV, and store notes offline for the IDs of matches that interest you. Don’t hesitate to start a thread in our DNA – Genetic Genealogy forum (https://en.geneanet.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=55203&sid=d770f4f7e8632f88b50d52ae60e9083b), other members may have other ideas, or may also tell us notes are a desirable feature. Thanks!
