Discover your Roma and Romani roots.
Upload raw DNA from the leading testing services, see your ancestry breakdown, match relatives, and explore your chromosomes — all in one private place built for people tracing Roma heritage.
Rooted in Roma and Romani heritage
Many people grow up with a family story of Roma heritage but no records to confirm it. Roma ancestry often shows up in a DNA test as a distinctive blend of South Asian, Middle Eastern and European ancestry — the genetic echo of a journey from the Indian subcontinent into Europe.
RomanyDNA helps you explore that story with the DNA you already have: your admixture, your DNA matches, and the shared chromosome segments that link you to the wider community.

Works with the DNA test you already have
RomanyDNA reads the raw data file you download from your testing company — there is no need to take a new test. We support raw DNA from AncestryDNA, 23andMe, MyHeritage, LivingDNA and Family Tree DNA, plus GEDmatch re-uploads. Upload once and your kit is compared against every other kit on the site, so you can find new matches and explore shared segments across the whole community.
