Family Finder

NEW! Discover close relatives and your ethnic percentages with Family Finder!

Family Finder uses autosomal DNA (inherited from both the mother and father, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, etc.) to provide you a breakdown of your ethnic percentages and connect you with relatives descended from any of your ancestral lines within approximately the last 5 generations.

Results Include:

genetic matches with relationship ranges, visual tools to show matching DNA, and ethnic percentages. Family Tree DNA does not charge a subscription fee. We will continue to update you about new matches and other information regarding your results.* [Read More].

  • Matches These are genetic cousins who share a common ancestor within approximately the last 5 generations. You will have access to your matches’ e-mail addresses and any genealogical information they have provided. You can begin exchanging information as soon as your results arrive!*
  • Predicted Relationship Ranges These are calculated based on DNA sharing with your genetic cousins.
  • Chromosome Browser This is a visual representation of where you and your matches share DNA.
  • Population Finder These are your ethnic percentages. They are based on a comparison of your results against population groups from around the world.
  • Updates As our database grows, you will receive notifications about new matches. There are no subscription fees for this service!

* This feature is optional.

* We are leading the way in the development of innovative genealogical uses for autosomal DNA. You will be matched with others who have also taken the Family Finder test. However, if you come from an under-represented population, it is possible you will not find matches right away. Your matches largely depend on how your DNA compares to our database. As our database is constantly growing, you may have matches over time, and we will send you e-mail notifications about any new matches.

** Due to the nature of autosomal DNA, the test does not specify from which branch of your family tree your matches or the percentages of your geographic heritage derive.
