DNA Relatives Matching

Found out if you have any distant relatives through shared DNA and connect with your extended family!

The service includes an in-app messaging feature to interact with potential relatives. Note participants need to be 18 years old or older.


As more people join the DNA Relatives Matching Program, participants will be able to view and connect with more relatives over time. Initially the number of relatives identified might be limited or none, depending on the origins of the participants. In addition, GeneLife has a high representation of participants from Japan, and people with East Asian ancestry might have more potential relatives identified as a result. For non-Asian participants, the identification of DNA Relatives Matching might be limited or none. Participants in GeneLife ancestry services are mainly from Japan, East Asia, and other parts of Asia.

Ethnic Mix

We have all been curious about our ethnic mix, what makes us so unique. With GeneLife Haplo 3.0, discover this through a carefully curated percentage chart that will reveal the various ethnic groups you belong to!

Check the list of ethnicities covered by GeneLife Haplo 3.0 here.

Migration Map

Our ancestors have travelled across the globe, looking for a place to call home and adapting to the environment around them. With the migration map feature, you will be brought on a journey through time to get a view into how your ancestors moved thousands of years ago.

For female customers, since women do not have a Y-chromosome, it is not possible to identify paternal migrations.

Prehistorical Ancestry

Discover if you share any DNA with the Jōmon or Neanderthal prehistorical people.

For female customers, since women do not have a Y-chromosome, it is not possible to identify paternal prehistorical ancestry.

Ancestral Japanese Family Name Lineage

Uncover your line of descent through potential family name affiliations between your ancestors from Japan and haplogroups from ancient times.

Results for this service will only be available for customers with Japanese ancestry. For female customers, since women do not have a Y-chromosome, it is not possible to identify paternal haplogroups.

With increasing interest from customers for more advanced ancestry services focusing on Japanese and Asian lineages, GeneLife and Genesis Healthcare have been collaborating for more than 7 years in joint research with the National Institute of Genetics (NIG) in Japan to introduce new ancestry features specifically developed for Japanese and Asian ethnicities.

GeneLife Haplo 3.0 Kit Disclaimer

GeneLife is actively involved in genetic research and development across multiple domains and has been collaborating in joint research with the National Genetics Institute (NIG) in Japan for more than seven years. This test kit has been specifically developed for Asian populations, unveiling the ethnic origins and migration paths of your ancestors. Multiple sources of research and information have been reviewed and compiled in developing the content featured in this report.

As research and science evolves continuously, content might be updated and refreshed on a regular basis. This does not necessarily mean that the customer’s DNA has been changed, rather it should remain the same for the whole life. For some Y-DNA haplogroups, the migration information is less concordant compared to mtDNA haplogroup and migration routes. The prediction on place of origin, period time and distribution of the reported haplogroup are based on sources and current research and may vary based on advancement of research.
