Much to my surprise, since Norwegians often spell their names differently or use patronymic surnames instead of farm names, our common ancestors from farm Fatland popped right up. Warning there are some misleading messages at the beginning of the output from this function that might make you think you are comparing to all GEDCOMs. You need each GEDCOM number your own GEDCOMs are listed at the bottom left of the home screen under Your GEDCOM Resources and I found Frode’s on his user profile (as described above). You get to that utility by clicking the 2 GEDCOMs under Genealogy in the middle right hand Analyze your data box.
I quickly gave up on looking through Frode’s detailed pedigree and decided to use the one-to-one GEDCOM compare at GEDmatch to find our common ancestors. Here is my mother’s pedigree as an example, adjusted down to 3 generations. The pedigree page can be adjusted to any number of generations. The item most interesting to me at the moment is pedigree since it will show Frode’s ancestors, so I clicked on that. Note that you can also look for a person up by email address but only use one of the lookup options on the form.įrode’s user page has a linked GEDCOM id number (image was at the top of this post) so I clicked on that and saw this individual page which is marked private since he is living. Then on my home page in the second box on the left I clicked on User Lookup and filled his kit number into that box on the lookup form. I took a copy of his kit number from the one to many matches page. One of my Dad’s top matches is a Norwegian named Frode. I have used red arrows on the image to the right, which is an excerpt from the current right hand column of GEDmatch home page to show where to upload your GEDCOM file and where to click to do a user lookup. My theory being that is enough generations for DNA matching and I only want ancestors for my DNA matches to look through. I prefer just 10-12 generations of my ancestors (privatized) as my full family file is way too large. It is helpful to be able to compare your GEDCOM to that of a DNA match. If you have not uploaded a GEDCOM to then I highly recommend that you do so. That id number is now clickable and will take you to the person associated with this kit number in the GEDCOM. On the next page, with the information about that kit, it will either say NO GEDCOM UPLOADED or there will be a GEDCOM id number.
Take the kit number of interest and plug it into the user lookup form.

How to navigate that GEDCOM is covered on the second page of this article. Otherwise you can find if a match has a GEDCOM by using the User Lookup function.

UPDATE : In the column labeled “GED Wikitree” on a Tier 1 one to many report, if the word “GED” appears in the row of a match, you can click on it to get to that user’s gedcom.
