It doesn't look like your DNA info is on your profile. Your profile privacy settings are right so it should appear there when you've entered it.

There are two things you can do with DNA tests on Wikitree:

* Enter the fact that you've done a DNA test, and through what company. You do that by clicking on a link about DNA tests on your own profile page, or by going to this link: https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:DNATests&u=18046944

(Once you have that on your profile, it will copy the information that you've done a DNA test to any of your connected relatives who might share that DNA.)

* Upload your DNA test to the GEDmatch website, write down your kit number from that site, and add it to your DNA information in Wikitree. That lets people connect from Wikitree to your DNA test info, and also allows GEDmatch to link from your test back to Wikitree so people who match you there can check how you might be related. (The GEDmatch to Wikitree link has to be turned on in your GEDmatch privacy settings.)

Jennifer, a quick follow-on to Kathleen's answer. You're still showing as a WikiTree "guest"; you'll want to agree to the WikiTree Honor Code and volunteer to do WikiTree genealogy. Too, once entered on your profile, your DNA test information will propagate only to profiles of possible family members connected to you. So you'll want to begin filling in your ancestors, beginning with your parents.

Welcome, and have fun!

If you clicked save after choosing the test you took, it can take up to 24 hours for your DNA information to show.  But you should immediately see a DNA tested badge on your profile. I see no badge on your profile so the test information was not saved.

One problem with the My Heritage test is there is no way (any kind of ID box) for others to easily compare with you.  I highly recommend for you  to follow Kathleen's advice for Gedmatch.  It will make DNA matching much much easier.
