Re: [LegacyUG] MyHeritage DNA test

[Cathy Pinner]

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.

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.

As far as I know you cannot remove this column, but I wonder if you have 
somehow switched from the option to display RIN to the option to display 
UserID.  I don't know if the column width is fixed for UserID, but in my 
case the column is much wider when set to UserID than when it is set to RIN.

If you click on Report Options, then on Page Setup, Headers, Footers and
select the Footers tab, there is an option to Include Compiler's

click on Edit Compiler there are several fields you may wish to include

[LegacyUG] Name list User ID column

Recently I notice that the left hand column on the Name list, the User 
ID column, has become about the same width as five of the Tab columns. 
This means that the Name column is narrowed to the point that many of 
the dates after the names are obscured.
I never use the User ID field. I want to reduce the width of this column 
to a narrow a possible, or perhaps remove it altogether.

How to I do this? Is there a .usr file to be deleted?

Re: [LegacyUG] Sending a Family Descendant Chart With a "Disclaimer" Endnote

[J.M. "Jay" Ingalls]

If you send an ancestor "book" or other "book", you can add a note to 
the title [cover page] and add a universal source note for everyone in 
the file. I add "User Must Verify All Info" to the title page.


If you tag and export every one you want in the pdf report to a new 
Legacy data base, you can add a universal source in the new file without 
changing your main or "real" data base.
