You can always transfer your DNA file to MyHeritage and receive matches for free if you’ve tested at Ancestry, 23andMe, or FamilyTreeDNA.
A free DNA file upload at MyHeritage always includes matching, but the advanced tools normally require either a $29 one-time unlock fee, or a Complete Data Plan subscription which includes genealogical records and more. (You can try the subscription free for 14 days, here.)
Right now, and through February 28th, you can transfer your DNA for free AND the $29 unlock fee is forever waived for the kits you transfer during this timeframe.
Free Advanced Features
What advanced features will you receive, in addition to matching?
- Ethnicity Estimates and their new Genetic Groups (read about Genetic Groups here)
- Chromosome Browser including Triangulation (read about Triangulation at MyHeritage, here)
- AutoClusters (read about AutoClusters, here)
- Theory of Family Relativity (read about Theories here and here)
These are wonderful tools for unraveling your genealogy.
Perfect Timing with RootsTech
The timing is great, because this week with RootsTech happening virtually, absolutely everyone is thinking about genealogy. Your transfer can be complete and ready for you to utilize as you select DNA-focused classes.
Don’t forget, RootsTech is free too and lasts from February 25-27 this year. I wrote about RootsTech, here. You can still sign up and watch sessions at any time, on-demand, after the conference opens. You’ll find several presentations by MyHeritage staff and by other speakers about using their products.
I’ll be teaching a session about Triangulation in general, including information about MyHeritage as well as other vendors who offer this type of feature.
Transfer your DNA file to MyHeritage now by clicking here so you’ll be ready.
