AncestryMatch compares autosomal markers across our consenting member network and surfaces the relatives who share meaningful segments with you — with the confidence math shown, not hidden.
Confidence reflects shared centimorgans across matched segments. Value shown is illustrative.
No surprises and no hidden scoring — each stage is explained before you opt in.
You submit a saliva kit or import raw data you already own from another service.
Markers are sequenced and normalized, then compared against consenting members only.
Shared segments are surfaced with the confidence math, and contact stays opt-in on both sides.
The match details and your relative's message are encrypted. Download the Ancestry Match Viewer to unlock the complete report and respond.
