GEDmatch was founded in 2010 in order to help "amateur and professional researchers and genealogists", including adoptees searching for birth parents. Users have the option to opt in their DNA to be shared with law enforcement and in 2018 GEDmatch's database was used to identify the Golden State Killer. | GEDmatch was founded in 2010 in order to help "amateur and professional researchers and genealogists", including adoptees searching for birth parents.
