Uploading TO Ancestry

This part is like shooting fish in a barrel with Ancestry because Ancestry doesn't accept any other vendor'south files. At that place is no power to upload TO Ancestry. You have to test with Ancestry if you want Deoxyribonucleic acid results from Ancestry.

Downloading FROM Ancestry

In club to upload your Beginnings autosomal DNA file to another testing vendor, or GedMatch, for either matching or ethnicity, you lot'll need to kickoff download the file from Ancestry. This doesn't in whatever mode affect your DNA matches at Beginnings. You're but downloading a re-create of the raw data file.

Step 1

Pace 2

Click on the Settings gear, at the far upper right-hand corner of the summary folio, just beneath your Ancestry user ID.

Stride three

Scroll way to the bottom and click on the link for "Download Raw DNA Data."

Stride 4

Enter your password and click on "I Understand," after reading of course.

And then click "Ostend."

Pace 5

Ancestry will send an electronic mail to the e-mail address where you are registered with Ancestry. Check your inbox for that e-post.

Waiting…waiting.

All the same waiting…

If the email doesn't arrive shortly, check your spam folder. If you've changed e-mail addresses, check to be sure your new 1 is registered with Ancestry. That's on the aforementioned Settings page. If all else fails, request the e-mail again.

Step 6

Ahhh, it's finally hither.

Click on the green "Confirm Information Download" and do not close the window.

Pace vii

Next, click on the greenish "Download DNA Data."

You'll see the following confirmation screen along with the downloaded file at the bottom.

Step eight

At the lesser of the page, to a higher place, if you're on a PC, you'll see the proper name of the zipped file.

The file proper name will exist "dna-data-2021-07-31" where the date is the date you lot downloaded the file. I would advise adding the word Ancestry to the front when you save the file on your arrangement.

Most vendors want an unopened nothing file, so if yous want to open up your file, first copy it to another name. Otherwise, you'll accept to download once again.

That's it, yous're done!

Ancestry DNA File Uploads to Other Vendors

Ancestry testing falls into two different categories. V1 tests taken before May of 2016 and V2, the current version as of August 2021 which includes tests taken subsequently May 2016. Tests processed during May 2016 could be either version. However, the major vendors accept both files, and then the version no longer matters.

The difference between V1 and V2 files is that Ancestry changed the fries they use to test and different DNA positions are tested, resulting in a file of a different format.

Not all vendors have uploads, but y'all tin can upload your Ancestry DNA file, as follows:

From beneath to >>>>>>>>>>>	Family Tree Deoxyribonucleic acid Accepts **	MyHeritage Accepts***	23andMe Accepts*	GedMatch Accepts
Ancestry V1 and V2	Yes	Yes	No	Yep

*Note that 23andMe in 2018 allowed a one-time upload from Beginnings, but people who uploaded results did not receive matches from 23andMe. You demand to examination at 23andMe.

**Note that the upload to Family Tree Dna and matching is complimentary, just advanced tools including the chromosome browser and ethnicity require a $xix unlock fee. That fee is less expensive than retesting.

***MyHeritage provides costless matching and basic tools. You'll need either a $29 unlock or a total subscription to utilize all of the MyHeritage advanced DNA and genealogy tools. You tin upload your DNA file hither, and try the subscription for costless, hither.

Testing and Upload Strategy

My recommendation, if you test at Ancestry, is to upload your Dna file to MyHeritage, Family unit Tree DNA, and GedMatch.

I wrote step-by-footstep upload instructions for:
