GEDmatch - Are You In or Out? - Tue, 10 Dec 2019

It’s already day-old news. GEDmatch has been purchased by Verogen.

For some of the reporting on this, see the following news posts:

For some of the details and opinions of expert genealogists and genetic genealogists, see the following blog posts:

Because of the new confirm acceptance requirements, and more stringent re-opt-in requirements for European residents, the number of matches available is going down for police searches.

    But not just for police searches. For everyone’s searches.

    One month ago, on November 5th, my 3000th closest match at GEDmatch shared 30.5 cM with me. Today my 3000th closest match shares 27.9 cM.  I have 699 matches at GEDmatch sharing from 27.9 cM to 30.4 cM. That means I have lost 23% of my matches at GEDmatch.  You likely also have as well.

    I’m definitely staying. What are you going to do?
