I add people who match my wife's atDNA or mtDNA or my mtDNA or yDNA or
atDNA test results to Legacy. I add info like "DNA Chr 1 Match to Jay"
to the "Name Suffix Field".
Then I use the Legacy Search, Find, Detailed Search, and search for
PRIMARY CONDITION
Look for Whom: Individual
Where to Look: Suffix
How to Look: Contains
What to Look For: Jay
SECOND CONDITION
Look for Whom: Individual
Where to Look: Suffix
How to Look: Contains
What to Look For: DNA
THIRD CONDITION
Look for Whom: Individual
Where to Look: Suffix
How to Look: Contains
What to Look For: 1
This finds all the people with the matching info. Lists all with 1, 11,
12, etc,
Works better for Chromosome 21 and similar numerals <G>. Any suggestions
on how to eliminate 12, 12, etc. from my results would be appreciated.
Once I get the list, I can print it out using Options, Print. I have the
print List Print Options set as:
Surnames, Given Names
Sex
Born
Died
Spouse 1
Spouse 2
Relationship
Then I can either print the list or work from the screen list to check
for segment matches with me at FamilyTreeDNA.com or Gedmatch.com
Then I contact the closest matches, especially if I find common
ancestors in their ancestry data.
Works better than nothing!
If you are worried about your "ancient heritage", I suggest you add your
atDNA data to Gedmatch.com for free and use the tools there. It is also
worth while to add your gedcom file=pedigree chart to Gedmatch.com.
There are many tools you can use for free to check for your possible
ancient ancestry. And many tools for looking for cousins. I do recommend
removing dates and places for living people from your gedcom file.
And remember, paper trail genealogy will often be wrong no matter how
many records you find or where you find the records. Before penicillin
and more recent modern drugs, many parents and children died from
disease and the neighbors or relatives raised the children who lived,
often with no "adoption" records. There were many other reasons for
children and grandchildren never knowing who their parents or
grandparents really were!

I had similar DNA inconsistencies. Ancestry reported primarily
Scandinavian, Irish and Western European. MyHeritage reported English
and Irish/Scottish/Welsh. The only possible explanation I have found
is from a couple of sources: They say that there can be a strong
Scandinavian impact in England based on the large migrations in the
8th through the 11th centuries. I have no idea if this is a valid
reason for the differences.

Hi Kevin
Join the club-I had my DNA test results from MyHeritage last
week. They gave no indication of my English ancestors for
which I have documented evidence.Both my maternal and paternal
ancestors were English going back to at least to 1750. The DNA
profile for England was 0.I intend to cross check results with
another DNA profiler.

Kevin -
This has been discussed before and, as I remember, the answer
is that the autosomal results are too massive to include in
Legacy. Plus, they would be difficult to interpret in Legacy.
Putting the lengthy raw results into Legacy would swell the
files unacceptably.

Hello,
I have the results from a Myhertiage DNA test. I have one for
myself and my wife. How do I go about adding this to my
Legacy family tree? The DNA test was an autosumal test but I
don't see that listed on the add DNA screen.
The results are rather intriguing and I have no idea how far
back the tests would go back to but as far as I can see the
test results don't match the research I have (I am back to
1780). I find no North African, Nigerian nor Finnish
connection in my direct line ancestors. I agree with the
English portion though :). It is a little bit surprising not
to find any Celtic markers given that my name is Ferguson, my
paternal grandmother was MacDonald and I have documented
proof of Scottish kin on my mother's side. It is all rather
perplexing and I have no idea why it should be so puzzling.
My father's ancestors didn't even leave the county of their
births for 300 years!
Any assistance would be greatfullly received.
Best regards
Kevin Ferguson

Hi All,
I'm having issues with the MyHeritage DNA tests also. I've been
researching for 25+ years and basically know that my ancestors
came from Ireland, Germany and French/Canada (France). MyHeritage
is showing English as the majority, East European, Iberian Pen,
North African and Nigerian. Have heard 10 to 12 stories that
MyHeritage DNA tests aren't what their said to be, that the people
who've had the test done also had Ancestery and 23&Me done with
the latter 2 showing correct ancestory line. Don't know if I;ve
been duped or not, but leaning that way. Sorry I didn't go with
Ancestery or 23&Me.
