You can upload your existing DNA results to FamilyTreeDNA and begin exploring matches and tools in a new database.<\/p>\n<p>This makes uploading your autosomal DNA an ideal starting point if you\u2019re new to FamilyTreeDNA but already have results.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Autosomal DNA Upload?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;81835&#8243; media_lightbox=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;65&#8243; lbox_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; lbox_social=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;151786&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;664560&#8243;]Autosomal DNA upload allows you to take DNA results from another testing company and upload them to FamilyTreeDNA to access matches and tools in a new database\u2014without retesting.<\/p>\n<h3>How Does Uploading Your Autosomal DNA Work?<\/h3>\n<p>If you or a family member have already tested with AncestryDNA, 23andMe, or MyHeritage DNA, you don\u2019t need to start over. Instead, you can upload your existing DNA data to FamilyTreeDNA and begin exploring new matches.<\/p>\n<p>Uploading your DNA involves transferring your <strong>raw DNA data file<\/strong>, not your physical sample. Your original results remain with the company where you tested, while your uploaded data is added to the FamilyTreeDNA database.<\/p>\n<p>This means you can be in <strong>multiple databases at once<\/strong>, increasing your chances of discovering new relatives and expanding your family tree.<\/p>\n<h3>What You Get With a Free DNA Upload<\/h3>\n<p>Uploading your DNA is completely free and gives you immediate access to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>DNA matches from FamilyTreeDNA\u2019s global database<\/li>\n<li>The Family Finder\u2122 Matrix, allowing you to compare up to 10 matches at once<\/li>\n<li>Opportunities to connect with additional relatives you may not find elsewhere<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By expanding your search across multiple databases, you can uncover new connections, strengthen existing research, and break through genealogical brick walls.<\/p>\n<h2>Unlocking Additional Autosomal Tools<\/h2>\n<p>To access the full suite of Family Finder tools, you can choose to unlock your results with a one-time fee.<\/p>\n<p>Unlocking includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.familytreedna.com\/interpreting-family-finder-matches\/#chromosome-browser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chromosome Browser<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.familytreedna.com\/recent-and-ancient-origin-results\/#myorigins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">myOrigins<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.familytreedna.com\/recent-and-ancient-origin-results\/#chromosome-painter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chromosome Painter<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.familytreedna.com\/recent-and-ancient-origin-results\/#ancientorigins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ancientOrigins<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.familytreedna.com\/recent-and-ancient-origin-results\/#ydna-haplogroup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Y-DNA haplogroup<\/a> (for genetic males)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These advanced tools provide deeper insight into your DNA and help you apply the strategies covered throughout this series.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Upload Your DNA to Multiple Databases?<\/h2>\n<p>Uploading your DNA to multiple databases increases your chances of finding genetic matches, because each testing company has its own unique pool of users.<\/p>\n<p>No single DNA database contains everyone. Each company\u2014like AncestryDNA, 23andMe, MyHeritage DNA, and FamilyTreeDNA\u2014has its own group of testers.<\/p>\n<p>That means a relative who doesn\u2019t appear in one database may show up in another.<\/p>\n<p>By uploading your DNA to multiple platforms, you can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Find more matches<\/strong> across different databases<\/li>\n<li><strong>Identify shared relatives<\/strong> who can help confirm family lines<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fill gaps in your research<\/strong> when matches are missing in one database<\/li>\n<li><strong>Break through brick walls<\/strong> using new genetic connections<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is especially important in genealogical research, where even a single new match can provide the clue needed to extend a family line.<\/p>\n<p>Uploading your DNA allows you to apply the same match analysis strategies from earlier in this series\u2014just with a larger and more diverse pool of relatives.<\/p>\n<p>This is why many genealogists choose to upload their DNA rather than rely on a single testing platform.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Upload Your DNA<\/h2>\n<p>A guide with step-by-step instructions for transferring your autosomal data from Ancestry or MyHeritage can be found in our <a href=\"https:\/\/help.familytreedna.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/4402392808463-Autosomal-DNA-Transfers-Guide#h_01HF7EES37C3FQ7GG10TXCF3SG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Help Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Are all autosomal DNA tests accepted?<\/strong><br \/>\nNot all tests are accepted, but FamilyTreeDNA currently supports multiple versions from AncestryDNA, 23andMe, and MyHeritage DNA, including most tests from 2010 through 2025.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What if I already tested with FamilyTreeDNA?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you already tested with FamilyTreeDNA, you can still upload additional DNA data by signing in and selecting \u201cAdd Ons &amp; Upgrades.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much does it cost to unlock additional tools?<\/strong><br \/>\nYou can unlock additional Family Finder features for a one-time fee of $19, which includes tools like myOrigins, Chromosome Painter, Chromosome Browser, ancientOrigins, and a Y-DNA haplogroup (for genetic males).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does uploading my DNA transfer my physical sample?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo, uploading your DNA only transfers your raw DNA data file\u2014your physical sample remains with the original testing company.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator sep_color=&#8221;,Default&#8221;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;177107&#8243;]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.familytreedna.com\/products\/autosomal-dna-upload\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uploading your DNA<\/a> is one of the easiest ways to expand your search for relatives and make new discoveries.
