How do you upload a DNA file?

Question

I downloaded my DNA file from Ancestry but cannot figure out how to upload to Wikitree.  It ask for a number of the DNA file but it not in the file.

Answer 1

We do not upload DNA Data to WikiTree. Just go to the Add button on the upper right of your profile page (or almost any page); the first item in the drop down list is DNA. Click on that and follow the instructions to enter your testing company and in the case of Ancestry, enter your username. Be sure to click on the Save button. Give it some time - an hour or two and the information will show on your profile page. It takes about 24 hours to populate any ancestors you have added.

Thank you David for the answer "star"! I appreciate it.

Answer 2

You can upload your RAW DNA Data to Gedcom for free if you make an account there - there is also a Paid Tier with perks and benefits, but a free acct is OK to start with.

This will allow you to find matches with others who have used other DNA companies that are not Ancestry.
