I've Tested. Now What?

DNA results and your genealogical family tree work together and complement each other to give you the ultimate picture of your family tree. Finding your DNA matches (sometimes called cousins) is a big step forward. You can link your DNA matches to your family tree matches. Decoding your DNA, finding your DNA matches, deciphering what cM's, segments, shared DNA, and all of the data that testing unlocks opens your world to your entire ancestry. Not just the ones that you can find or document.

Concent is very important when working with clients and DNA. You need to know what I will do with your information and I need your permission to use it. Before we begin any DNA project, you will need to sign and return DNA Terms of Service Contract.

Sharing and Getting the Most from Your DNA Results Using Ancestry

How to share your Ancestry DNA results with me: https://www.ancestry.com/corporate/blog/ancestrydna-you-can-now-share-your-dna-results

How to share your Ancestry Family tree with me: https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/Sharing-a-Family-Tree?language=en_US
I will need contributor status in order to work on your Family Tree.

I will also need a DNA file of the raw data. To download your GEDCOM file from Ancestry: https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/Downloading-DNA-Data?language=en_US

The raw DNA file will be emailed to you. Please send the file named “familytree name-data-(date).zip” emailed to me at theancestorhunterco@gmail.com.

After these steps are complete, I will upload the DNA file to MyHeritage, FamilyTree DNA, and GEDMatch. This will give us more matches, more people to work with, and more information to get the answers we are looking for.
