DNA Special Interest Group - GEDmatch (DNA SIG)
7:00 pm to 8:30 pm online via Zoom
GEDmatch does not do any DNA testing, However, they have assembled the largest collection of tools for analyzing DNA connections People upload their tests they obtained from other sites and then compare them on GEDmatch. So it is a place where people can share with people from other sites. For example, if you tested at Ancestry, you could be comparing to people who only tested at 23andMe. Some of their tools are found nowhere else, such as the Lazarus tool, which I used to recreate my mother's DNA although she had not tested before she died.
