Leo,
You can download your MyHeritage test results but they won't make any
sense even if you can open the file. It will be several MB.
You can upload this file to the free gedmatch.com to see more details as
Gedmatch has chromosone browsers. Gedmatch enables you to compare with
all other people who have uploaded their results to Gedmatch and have
numbers of tools. It's not easy but you can do heaps more with your results.
They also have a pay option with more tools. I haven't ventured there yet.
Here's the directions of how to download from MyHeritage and upload to
GedMatch.

Hi Cathy,
Yes maybe I do need to learn more about DNA and DNA tests but when
they do not send you any results of the test it is very hard to
document the results. They only let you know possible matches that you
may be related to. That is what I was disappointed about. I took an
Ancestry's Advanced Paternal Lineage Test (Y-Chromoson 46) a few years
ago and got the results from them which I entered into my Legacy
program, I had expected to get a more advanced DNA test from
MyHeritage, but I didn't get anything other than I may be related to
several second or third cousins several times removed. Just not what I
had expected.

Leo,
It seems you need to learn more about DNA and DNA tests.
Here's why you can't just enter your DNA results for an autosomal test
into Legacy - it's several MB even when zipped.
You can enter an Event to track who has taken a DNA test.
You can also use Events, Tags and Hashtags to track the research you
do on your DNA matches.
There are numerous webinars on DNA.
Here is the link to an article Michele Simmons Lewis wrote on using
Legacy to track your DNA match research.

DNA research is complicated. Autosomal tests are proving very useful.

Hi Kevin,
I was expecting to be able to add my DNA results to my Legacy program,
I was quite disappointed to learn that what I had expected to receive
will not happen, this is the reply that I received when I inquired
about my DNA results.
There are three major types of genealogical DNA tests available: the
y-DNA test, the mtDNA test and the
autosomal DNA test. Each test produces different information.
MyHeritage offers the /*autosomal*/ DNA test
The MyHeritage DNA kit is an autosomal DNA test for genetic genealogy,
designed to discover and identify relatives and ancestors, through DNA
matches with MyHeritage's genealogical matching database.
Humans have 46 chromosomes. The MyHeritage DNA test looks at the first
44 'autosomal' chromosomes, that aren't the X or Y chromosomes
determining your gender, identifying linked DNA segments. It analyses
the DNA inherited from both your mother and father, four grandparents,
eight great-grandparents, and so on - to provide a breakdown of your
ethnic percentages and connect you with relatives descended from any
of your ancestral lines within approximately the last 6 generations.
Both men and women can take the MyHeritage DNA test and the results
are not limited to just the direct maternal or paternal lines.
Leo

Hi there,
I ordered a MyHeritage DNA kits for my wife and I and I wanted to know
how to input the results into Legacy. I clicked on the DNA symbol in
the "Individual Information" screen but didn't see an entry for
MyHeritage DNA service. I find this odd as the email I got from Legacy
seemed to be endorsing the MyHeritage DNA kits.
Has anyone managed to add their results to Legacy and if so, how?
Thank you for any pointers.
Best regards
Kevin
