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.

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!

I get this message and don’t know what to make of it, since I am in my family tree. “Georgia Lusk is not identified in your family tree. We can’t compare these two genealogies to help you find common ancestors (shared names and places).” How do I get identified in my family tree so comparisons can be made?
Answer from Geneanet: Unfortunately it can’t be made after you have uploaded your DNA data. You must remove your DNA data then upload it again and link it to a person in your family tree when you will be asked.

I have done the above, but the list of folks have no similar names in my tree. When I contact them, some react as if they have no idea who I am. I am unable to see how they are connected to me at all. What gives? Very disappointed at this point.

I’ve had my DNA tested With Ancestry.com. It was a waste of my money as they could not access France which is the prime object of having my DNA tested. France will not release DNA to the wider public is this true? doesn’t the French have a system of finding out were your ancestors came from?
Answer from Geneanet: You can export your DNA data from Ancestry then import it to Geneanet. Please read: https://en.geneanet.org/dna/help/how-to-download-your-dna-data-from-ancestrydna . We have the largest French genealogical database so you will find information and new ancestors if you have a French ancestry.
