Free DNA Transfers to MyHeritageDNA Now Extended to December 15, 2018

According to the MyHeritage Blog, MyHeritageDNA has extended its FREE DNA transfers until December 15, 2018, so if you already tested at another DNA testing company you can still download your RAW DNA data from that site and upload it to MyHeritage for free. This is a great way to get your tests into a different "pool" of potential DNA matches. Why? Because you never know where someone tested. We suggest if you are going to do a transfer make sure you do so by December 15 to ensure your tests qualify to be grandfathered in. As of December 16, the new rules, what ever they are, will go into effect.

MyHeritageDNA accepts raw DNA data from Family Tree DNA, AncestryDNA (V1 and V2 version chips), and 23andMe (V2, V3 and V4 chips.) Very recently MyHeritage began supporting uploads of 23andMe (v5) and LivingDNA data files which are on the GSA chip.

Users that upload their DNA data files prior to December 15, 2018, receive full access to DNA Matching, Ethnicity Estimates, chromosome browser and more for free. This free access for all DNA data that is uploaded to MyHeritage before December 15, 2018, will continue to enjoy full access to all DNA features for free because these uploads will be grandfathered in and will remain free.

For DNA data files uploaded December 16, 2018, or after, DNA matching will remain free for uploaded DNA data but unlocking additional DNA features (like ethnicity estimate, chromosome browser and some others) will require an extra payment.

Not sure how to download your raw DNA data from the site you tested on and how to upload it? Check this MyHeritage help page.
