Here's my Ancestry DNA results

One of the ways they're solving cases is by making familial DNA matches. So don't be surprised if you send your DNA off to be analyzed and some cold case detectives show up asking you to draw your family tree for them.

fukk around and get your great uncle caught up cause his DNA was found on some thots chest back in 1977.

Can you post a SS?

"It just to say I had Jewish ancestry but I think they converted it to Egypt now"

I don't understand.

Also, is this 23andMe or Anc.DNA?

Ancestry.com. I'll upload a photo a bit cuz I just was writing shyt from memory.

Not my business and definitely not my problem. I'm just saying to think about your family before you start sharing.

Apparently Ancestry.com and 23andme.com said they won't give the DNA to law enforcement.

It's other places, like Gedmatch that will give your DNA to law enforcement. I took mine off Gedmatch.

If I had a family member that committed a heinous crime (esp. sexual in nature), don't you think it would behoove to the family to get rid of said member?

I got an update from 23andMe specifically naming my link to the Malinkes. I’ve never seen the genetic companies making the connection to specific tribes for black tester.

Well, I without a doubt have a connection to the Mali Kingdom.

Edit: Actually it’s the Mandinkas, so Mandes. I think still related to the Mali Kingdom.

Gedmatch has an opt out option now I think.

That optout option didn't mean anything. They still allowed law enforcement to use it. I took mine out of there.

Guide for Law Enforcement - 23andMe UK
23andMe chooses to use all practical legal and administrative resources to resist requests from law enforcement, and we do not share customer data with any public databases, or with entities that may increase the risk of law enforcement access.

Ancestry.com:

Ancestry does not voluntarily cooperate with law enforcement.

For both, they will release dna to law enforcement only if given a valid court order. In such a case, they will notify the person who's dna was requested by law enforcement with the contact information they have.

What does the Police Badge on Gedmatch Mean?

What does the police badge icon stand for on Gedmatch?
The police badge icon stands for whether your DNA kit has been opted-in for matching to law enforcement kits or not.

If the police badge has a red “X” through it, then your kit is NOT currently available for law enforcement matching.

The image below shows some kits on my Gedmatch account that are NOT opted-in the law enforcement matching. I haven’t had a chance to discuss it with these individuals, and I would not (and should not) opt-in their kits without their express consent.
If the police badge does not have an X through it, then your kit is currently available to match with law enforcement kits:

The image above shows that my kit has been opted in to law enforcement matching

All of the DNA kits that were uploaded to Gedmatch before they enacted this policy in May, 2019, were automatically opted out of law enforcement matching. This means that if you would like your kit to be available in the database for law enforcement matching, you will have to make a few clicks to opt your kit in.

The section below includes information about exactly how to opt your previously uploaded Gedmatch kits in to law enforcement matching.

All new Gedmatch users who upload kits that are not currently in the database will be given the option on the upload page to opt-in to law enforcement matching.

You are not required to opt-in in order to use the database and tools on the Gedmatch site.

Usage by law enforcement[edit]
In December 2018, police forces in the United States said that, with the help of GEDmatch and genetic genealogy, they had been able to find suspects in a total of 28 cold murder and rape cases that year.[25][26] Also in December 2018, Family Tree DNA allowed law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, to upload DNA profiles from crime scenes to help solve cold crimes. As of that time, GEDmatch was not the only site that could be used by law enforcement officials to solve crimes using genetic genealogy.[27]

White people are overrepresented on GEDmatch and are believed to be underrepresented in CODIS, the FBI's collection of DNA samples pulled from crime scenes, arrestees, and criminal suspects. Thus, GEDmatch may be especially effective in facilitating the arrests of white suspects who might otherwise have eluded law enforcement.[28] On May 18, 2019, GEDmatch revised its privacy statement to users regarding the collection and use of genetic information, including the circumstances in which it may cooperate with law-enforcement use of its database. As of September 2020, GEDmatch has been credited for helping facilitate nearly 120 cold-case arrests and for helping in 11 "Jane and John Doe" identifications across the United States.[29][30]

General cases solved or suspects identified using GEDmatch[edit]

• California law enforcement investigating the Golden State Killer case uploaded the DNA profile of the suspected serial rapist/killer from an intact rape kit in Ventura County[31][32] to GEDmatch.[33] It identified 10 to 20 distant relatives of the Golden State Killer, and a team of five investigators working with genealogist Barbara Rae-Venter[34] used those results to construct a large family tree, which led them to identify former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo as a suspect.[35] Investigators acquired samples of his DNA from items he discarded outside his home, one of which definitively matched that of the killer.[36][37] The process took about four months, from the time the first matches appeared on GEDmatch to the time when DeAngelo was arrested in April 2018.[32]
• In September 2018, Roy Charles Waller was arrested as a suspect in a series of more than ten rapes between 1991 and 2006 in Northern California (the "Norcal Rapist"), after DNA evidence from crime scenes were matched on GEDmatch to a relative.[38] Police then constructed a family tree and, using the known characteristics of the rapist, narrowed the suspects down to Waller. It took little more than a week to identify and arrest the suspect.[39] He was charged with 40 counts of rape.[40]
• In May 2019, a grand jury in Orange County, North Carolina, indicted John Russell Whitt on first-degree murder charges related to the death of his son, Robert "Bobby" Adam Whitt.[41] Bobby Whitt's skeleton was discovered under a billboard on Interstate 85-40 in September 1998; an autopsy showed that he had died by strangulation.[42] Although the case remained open, and hundreds of investigators worked on it over the years – including forensic artist Frank Bender – the remains were unidentified until Barbara Rae-Venter analyzed a DNA sample that suggested the boy had one white parent and one Asian parent. Using online genealogical services, she located a cousin in Hawai'i, who was able to provide the boy's name. The family had not reported him missing because they believed his mother, Myoung Hwa Cho, had taken him back to South Korea, where she was from.[42] Further investigation revealed that Cho's body had been located in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, on May 13, 1998. She had been suffocated and had ligature marks around her wrists.[42] John Whitt has confessed to both murders; he is currently serving a federal prison sentence at the Ashland FCI[43] for armed robbery and will not be eligible for release on that charge until 2037.[42]
• In 2020, in Toronto, Canada, police used GEDmatch to identify the murderer of Christine Jessop.[44]

Parabon Nanolabs[edit]
In cooperation with American law enforcement organizations, Parabon NanoLabs started uploading DNA evidence from crime scenes to GEDmatch in an attempt to identify perpetrators. In November 2018, Parabon was reported to be working on 200 such cases.[45][46] In May 2019, they said they were solving cold cases at the rate of about one per week.[47]

DNA Doe Project[edit]

This article needs to be updated. The reason given is: new identifications have happened since july. Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. (January 2020)

Two genealogical researchers, Dr. Colleen M. Fitzpatrick and Margaret Press, started the DNA Doe Project in 2017 to identify unknown bodies using GEDmatch. They use volunteers to construct the sometimes very large family trees resulting from genetic data, in order to identify missing persons. Their successes include the following:

• Identification of the "Buckskin girl", a young woman found murdered beside a road in Miami County, Ohio, in 1981, as Marcia King. She was identified by autosomal DNA through GEDmatch and genetic genealogy in March 2018.[48]
• They also investigated a man called Joseph Newton Chandler III, found to have stolen the identity of an eight-year-old in 1978 and committed suicide in 2002 in Eastlake, Ohio, obtained a sample of his DNA and uploaded it to GEDmatch. By the genetic results, researchers identified him as Robert Ivan Nichols. This finding was revealed in late June 2018.[49]
• They helped identify "Sheep Flats Jane Doe", a homicide victim from July 1982, who was identified as 33-year-old Mary Silvani in the summer of 2018. She had been raped and murdered near Lake Tahoe, Nevada.[50] Washoe County Sheriff's Office withheld her name until May 2019, when they had also confirmed the identity of her killer, James Curry. He had died in jail in January 1983, after confessing to two other murders and being arrested in a third. He was also identified through genetic genealogy, with the aid of the DNA Doe Project and GEDmatch.
• In December 2018, they identified a man using the alias "Alfred Jake Fuller" when he was found dead in 2014 in a Kennebec County, Maine, hotel apartment.[50] He had died of natural causes.
• In December 2018, they identified "Anaheim Jane Doe", who had been found murdered in 1987 in Anaheim, Orange County, California. The police announced the victim's identify as 20-year-old Tracey Coreen Hobson.[51][50]
• In January 2019, they identified "Lavender Doe", a young woman whose burned body had been found near a road in Gregg County, Texas, in 2006. East Texas officials announced that she was 21-year-old Dana Lynn Dodd.[52] Joseph Burnette had confessed to her murder in 2018 but had not known her identity.[53]
• In February 2019, a man called "Rock County John Doe" was identified using GEDmatch. His body had been found in 1995 (it was estimated he had died in 1994) in Rock County, near Clinton, Wisconsin. The police medical examiner concluded that he had died from hypothermia.[54]
• In March 2019, the DNA Doe Project identified "Butler County Jane Doe" as 61-year-old Darlene Wilson Norcross. Norcross' body had been found in a wooded area near West Chester, Ohio, on March 7, 2015.[55] She had never been reported as missing, and the police were unable to determine her cause of death.
• In March 2019, the project identified "Annie Doe" as 16-year-old Annie Marie Lehman who was found on August 19, 1971, in Cave Junction, Oregon, near the border with California. Some debris was noted to partially conceal the remains. The project was through collaboration with NCMEC and NamUs.
• In June 2019, "Vicky" Doe (one of serial killer Shawn Grate's first victims), murdered between 2002 and 2006 was identified as 23-year-old Dana Nicole Lowrey.[56]
• In July 2019, "Belle in the Well", the remains of a woman found strangled in a well in Chesapeake, Ohio, in 1981, was identified as Louise Virginia Peterson Flesher. Flesher was about 65 years old at the time of her murder and was born in West Virginia.[57]

Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Genetic Genealogy Program[edit]
In 2018, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement set up a Genetic Genealogy Program to use GEDmatch to solve cold cases. They reported in 2019 that they had solved four cases.[58][59] By the end of 2020, the program had led to 10 arrests/identifications and closed several more cases.

GEDmatch - Wikipedia
---------------------------------------------------
'Opt-in' We will compare your DNA kit to all other kits in the GEDmatch database to find your matching genetic relatives. Kits in the database include those submitted by users undertaking personal genetic genealogy research, adoptee searches, users (including law enforcement) attempting to identify unidentified human remains, and law enforcement attempting to identify perpetrators of violent crimes. Your kit WILL be compared with kits submitted by law enforcement to identify perpetrators of violent crimes. The operators of GEDmatch encourage everybody to select this option.

'Opt-out' We will compare your DNA kit to all other kits in the GEDmatch database to find your matching genetic relatives. Kits in the database include those submitted by users undertaking personal genetic genealogy research, adoptee searches, and users (including law enforcement) attempting to identify unidentified human remains. Your kit WILL NOT be compared with kits submitted by law enforcement to identify perpetrators of violent crimes.

Yeah I know. I remember that and I opted-out. And they still gave law enforcement DNA when they requested it.

They totally ignored the whole opt-out deal.

C'mon man, it's never that cut and dry. There could be numerous reasons as to why your relative's DNA was at the scene. Do you really wanna put his/her fate in some publicity seeking officials hands?
