View Full Version : Many matches on Gedmatch are either wrong or missing

Since I found some fully east asian dude on my fathers matches list which perplexed me since some Balkan dude having east asian relatives 4 or 5 generations before seems kind of weird and he was the only one with a segment big enough to be seen without scrolling down too low, I compared my DNA with the asian one and turns out I dont share anything with him! Next thing I did was to use the Gedmatch tool which shows matches you share with another kit and put my twin brothers kit with mine in comparison.
The result was that he and i both had a bunch of matches with segments from 12cm to 20cm which we did not share.
Either Gedmatch fucked up the batch process somehow or the testing companies arent as accurate as i thought before (Brother has MyHeritage, Father has 23andme and i have Ancestry).

Gedmatch is way off. Dont take your matches literally. I've had the same happen. I match with someone on gedmatch but on 23andme we arent related.
