Question

I bought Y-DNA for 85 year old uncle,he has no email address-how can I add his DNA so I can see matches?

Answer 1

Create an email address for him.  And then sit with him and upload it.

This is what I did for all my elderly relatives who don't have email.

Me: Grandma, now I'm putting in your password.

Grandma: That's nice.

Me: Grandma, now I'm uploading your DNA data.

Grandma: That's nice.  Do you want some soup?

Thanks, I thought about that.Then I got worried about doing that because I didn't know if there was going to have to be more verification. I think he did have one several years ago.

DUH

Cannot belive that I didnt think of that myself.

Sorry.

Answer 2

You might want to contact the admins - info at wikitree dot com

 Usually one cannot enter the DNA details for another living person...  for privacy reasons...

You also cannot upload the RAW DNA data either.

And we dont "do matches" here on wikitree. We just show those people whom you MAY potentially be related to.

At my request my uncle submitted a DNA test. He has died and I don't know how I can add the results to his wiki profile ( that I created). It is a real shame to lose the benefit of this information. He knew and approved but I guess now his DNA information is not useable.

Any suggestions?
