Question

how do I upload DNA results?

Answer 1

Hello Roxana,

See: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/DNA_Features#Recording_Tests

For auDNA results, register at http://v2.gedmatch.com/login1.php and follow GEDmatch's instructions to upload your auDNA results there (depending on if you tested with AncestryDNA, 23andMe, or Family Finder).  Then enter your GEDmatch ID on your DNA Tests page in WikiTree.

If you tested your auDNA with more than one lab then only upload one lab's results to GEDmatch.  If you have results in GEDmatch from different labs then it only causes confusion for your matching cousins.

For mtDNA results, go the the bottom of your mtDNA Matches page (for mtDNA results from Family Tree DNA) and click on the button to upload your mtDNA results to MitoSearch.org  Then enter your MitoSearch ID on your DNA Tests page in WikiTree.

For males with Y-DNA results, go the the bottom of his Y-DNA Matches page (for Y-DNA results from Family Tree DNA) and click on the button to upload his Y-DNA results to YSearch.org  Then enter his YSearch ID on his DNA Tests page in WikiTree.

The DNA information is automatically associated with the ancestry about midnight Eastern Time.

Sincerely, Peter

I tried to click on the link for the instructions to upload my DNA results but it appears to be broken. Is anyone able to send me instructions on how to upload Ancestry DNA results please.

Many thanks

Hi Peter 
I uploaded my Ancestry DNA through the link you sent me. I just have to wait until it's available for the one-to-many report. 

Hopefully that means I'll be able to upload it to Wikitree - or does it do it automatically for me?

Cheers

Ley

Just another question

I'm trying to enter my mum's and aunty's DNA results also but it's not happening properly. When I click on the LINK TO WHOEVER button it just goes back to the same page

Sorry to keep bothering you

To enter DNA test information for someone else, on their profile from the drop-down list under their Wiki ID, select 'DNA'. Then on the next page, click on 'DNA tests'. That will take you to the page where you can enter the information about their DNA test.
