I DNA tested, NOW WHAT?

1.  Download your DNA Raw Data from the providers' site to your computer
2.  Upload the Raw Data to the 3rd party companies that will accept it.

      FTDNA
      MyHeritage
      Genesis GedMatch (replaces the old Gedmatch)/Verogen

Most of the companies can only transfer Ancestry DNA versions 1 and 2.

If you have a problem uploading your Ancestry DNA, here is a tool called a Patch to help convert the file so it can be accepted to upload to FTDNA.
