After more than a year of work, the rebuild focuses on three things: an easier start for newer users, clearer navigation, and more ways to customize and track your research.

The science isn't changing - the same comparisons deliver the same results. The experience is what's new:

• Centralized management for DNA kits, GEDCOMs, and FamilySearch imports
• A searchable tool catalog with clear categories
• Folders, column controls, and site-wide search and sort
• A redesigned One-to-Many with new-match highlighting and time-based sorting
• A combined One-to-One that toggles between autosomal and X
• My Clipboard — build your research list once and carry it across tools, no re-entering kit numbers
• Optional user profiles to connect with the community
• Plus much more!

New features for free and Tier 1 members alike.

The rollout: beta opens in August at beta.gedmatch.com, the new site is fully operational by the end of 2026, and the current site retires in March 2027. Your data carries over automatically - nothing to transfer.
