DNA Doe Project

The DNA Doe Project works to identify unnamed deceased persons who have sometimes waited decades to be returned to their families. 

The power of our organization lies with the over 60 experienced genetic genealogists who donate their time, skills, and passion to our cause.  Some of our cases are solved quickly; others may take years of detective work. 

The DNA Doe Project does not give up on anyone. 

We raise funds to provide the supervision, tools, and infrastructure our volunteers need to do their work, and to cover the expensive lab costs involved in extracting and sequencing DNA from remains whenever a qualifying agency is unable to afford them. 

We are deeply appreciative of the generous donors who support our simple but profound mission. 

We are proud to say that as of the end of 2021, The DNA Doe Project has successfully solved more than 65 Doe cases. And we are just getting started.
