DNA Doe Project - Genetic Genealogy to Identify John and Jane Does

[Kimster]

The DNA Doe Project is an exciting new initiative that uses genetic genealogy to identify John and Jane Does. We have become a go-to organization for law enforcement agencies and medical examiners across the country, helping them solve their most intractable cases. Our innovative DDP Fund program allows smaller and less-well-funded agencies to take advantage of our services. We have had amazing success even with cases where the DNA was highly degraded or of low quantity.


We are an all-volunteer organization that has attracted some of the best genetic genealogists in the industry, all working towards the common goal of reuniting John and Jane Does with their families.

Personally, I think this organization is amazing. For that reason, I wanted to highlight them in our forum.

Here's a link to cases they are working on:

If you want, you can buy their merch to help fund cases. And of course, they do take donations. We don't promote donations on our site, but in this case, donations to their cause are tax deductible and they are recognized by many law enforcement agencies as being helpful to them, too!

Here's a link to their merchandise:
