Jane,
Autosomal DNA tests aren't under the DNA symbol in Legacy as the results
are very different and can't be entered with a few numbers. People are
adding an Event and attaching the results file or recording where
they've stored it. The results are several MB.
Some are also using Events to keep track of matches.
With Legacy 9 people are using Hashtags.
There's been quite a lot of discussion on this in the Facebook Legacy
User Group.

Jane,
Still using version 8. I add to name suffix box, "DNA Chr 1 match to
Jay", etc. Can search for and create list of people with "DNA data,
Chr 1, Match to Jay" matches in my data. Works, but would like to be
able to include a lot more of the DNA match data.
Also is visible in reports and books sent to cousins and other
researchers.
Anyone have a really good way of doing this in Version 9?
Must be able to easily search all the DNA data in Legacy!
I can not handle using extensive DNA spreadsheet data and updating.
Expect Legacy to do that for me.

Thank you. That worked out.
Now for a whole new question. (I recently downloaded V. 9 and
resumed working on genealogy after a long layoff, so will be
peppering the list with questions for a while.) I'm afraid I have
forgotten quite a bit, or perhaps, never knew enough.
I wish to indicate DNA confirmation for those ancestors that I have
documentation (DNA testing) for. I went to the DNA symbol using the
icon on the event screen. Problem 1: It did not list the Ancestry
autosomal test as an option for name of test. and problem 2: I
typed info into the notes space (the "Recorded Test" box would not
allow input) but when I closed the DNA screen the info I had input
into the Notes space had disappeared.
I am looking for a simple way to indicate which ancestors I have DNA
confirmation of. I am thinking of using the Hashtag function for that.
