Step by step instructions on uploading your Family Tree DNA Y-DNA test information to mitoYDNA.org and your mitoYDNA.org ID to WikiTree
Once your results information is in mitoYDNA.org then your mitoYDNA.org ID can be added to your DNA Test information page in WikiTree. DNA test taker must enter their own DNA information (e.g. mitoYDNA.org ID) on their profile's DNA Test page. If the test taker is deceased, then someone who has access to the testee’s Family Tree DNA account can upload to mitoYDNA and enter the deceased testee’s Y-DNA information (e.g. mitoYDNA ID) on the testee’s DNA Test information page in WikiTree).
