Mike's Rule #7 - Transfer Your DNA to other sites
More DNA matches means more adventures and more opportunities to solve family history mysteries. All DNA testing companies will allow you to download your DNA results. And you should, just for safe keeping. There are a number of companies that will allow you upload your DNA results for free. Ancestry is not one of them.
The three that I use are Family Tree DNA, MyHeritage and GedMatch. GedMatch provides the most tools for comparing and analyzing your DNA for free. For an extra fee, you get even more tools. The testing companies, that we actually pay for, should git off their collective asses and learn from Gedmatch to provide more analysis tools. More uploads to more sites means more matches, period.
