23and Me in the headlines

 


It isn't very often that the national news features articles with direct consequences to the greater genealogical community. In this case, many genealogists and family historians have taken DNA tests from 23andMe.com over the years. The simple caution for those with 23andMe tests is to download your data. A quick Google search indicates that downloading your data is fairly simple. Here is one of many links to the process from 23andMe.com


You can also upload your data for free to MyHeritage.com, the large online genealogy company. Here is a link to the process.


What I find online is that Ancestry.com does not allow raw DNA data to be uploaded. There are many posts online explaining about Ancestry's position.
