WikiTree and DNA – WikiTree and Third Party DNA Sites

DNA Matches on WikiTree

WikiTree is a global family tree (and can include living relatives) for your ancestors (all our

ancestors, not just yours).

WikiTree Connects

WikiTree doesn't offer DNA testing.

We don't host DNA test results.

You don't "upload your DNA or Raw Data" to WikiTree.

WikiTree focuses on what we do best:

genealogical collaboration.

WikiTree Connects

We specialize in helping you share and collaborate with your matches.

We also approach things from the opposite

direction.

WikiTree Connects

We connect distant cousins who might be matches so that they can compare test results.

Help From the Community

WikiTree is lucky to have some professional geneticists and leaders in genetic genealogy

participating in our community. We also have a lot of members, perhaps like yourself, who

aren't experts but are learning and are willing to help each other learn.

Help From the Community

Come to our Genealogist-to-Genealogist (G2G) Forum and ask whatever questions you have. Be

sure to tag your questions DNA to make sure they're seen by the right people.

Browse past discussions about DNA. And there's a DNA FAQ with Q&A on WikiTree's DNA

Features.

Helping the Community

If you consider yourself a bit more experienced, have an interest in helping others, and might

want to participate in discussions on how WikiTree can further integrate DNA, follow the tag DNA and consider joining our DNA Project.
