I canceled my subscription within 24 hours and now my reports are gone.
How are my Trait results calculated?
Why are some of the results inaccurate or different from my actual experience?
What are Traits based on "Genomelink Research"?
What does high/intermediate/low mean? How should I interpret my results?

What is DNA Match?
My DNA Match results are ready. Where do I see them?
I have a 100% DNA match with someone I don't recognize. What does that mean?
My match says "child" but I don't have any children (or my children haven't tested). Is this a mistake?
The relationship label on my match seems wrong (e.g., showing "half nephew" instead of "first cousin"). Why?
My sibling/parent isn't showing up in my DNA matches, even though we both have accounts. Why?
I have very few DNA matches. Why does my daughter/friend have so many more?
Why do I see different matches on Genomelink than on AncestryDNA or 23andMe?
My closest match is a 3rd or 4th cousin. Where are my closer relatives?
Why does my match show up as "Incognito"?
I got a connection request email, but I can't view or accept it.
I'm having trouble with a DNA Match verification code ("invalid code" error).
Why can't I connect with all my matches?
What should I do if my match doesn't respond to my connection request?
What do I do if I don't have any matches?
