DNA ยท Family tree ยท Passports

Upload your DNA and family tree. See where you come from and which passports it could lead to.

Forebear reads raw DNA from AncestryDNA, 23andMe, MyHeritage and FamilyTreeDNA, checks your GEDCOM tree for mistakes, and matches your ancestors against citizenship by descent rules. If your ancestry does not qualify, it shows the residency and second passport routes that might.

No new DNA test needed. Your raw DNA file never leaves your computer.

How the DNA analysis works

2

Family tree repair

Most trees copied from other people carry errors: parents born after their children, people born after a parent died, duplicates and messy dates. Forebear finds them and gives you back a cleaned file.

What Tree Repair checks

3

Passports and residency

Your ancestors are checked against the current citizenship by descent rules for Canada, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Germany, Hungary and Portugal. No ancestry route? You see residency and second passport options instead.

Questions people ask

Which DNA files can I upload?+

Raw data downloads from AncestryDNA, 23andMe, MyHeritage and FamilyTreeDNA. You download the file from your testing company's settings page and choose it here. You do not need to take a new test.

Does my raw DNA file get uploaded?+

No. Your DNA file is read inside your own browser. Only the finished percentages are saved to your account so you can see them again later.

What is a GEDCOM file?+

It is the standard family tree file that Ancestry, FamilySearch, MyHeritage, Findmypast, Gramps, RootsMagic and Family Tree Maker can all export. Forebear reads it to check your tree and match your ancestors to citizenship rules.

Can Forebear tell me which tribe I come from?+

No DNA test can do that, and tribal membership is decided by each nation's own enrolment rules, not by DNA. The Indigenous American report shows how much Indigenous American DNA your file carries, how confident the estimate is, and which records to search next.

Does a match mean I will get a passport?+

No. Forebear shows which routes your family tree may support and what could break them. Governments and courts make the decision. We tell you what to check and which documents to order first.
