As of yesterday, MyHeritage has a new policy regarding uploading of DNA test results to its website.
If you’ve done a DNA test before on another service, uploading your DNA data to MyHeritage can help you break down genealogical brick walls and uncover new relatives. Genetic genealogists call this “fishing in another pond” for DNA Matches, to benefit from the opportunity to be matched with the huge base of customers who have tested their DNA exclusively on MyHeritage.
Effective December 16, 2018, users can upload their raw DNA data from other testing services for free, and they will still receive all DNA Matches for free, but unlocking extra features for uploaded DNA data will now cost an extra fee.
If you have already uploaded your raw DNA data to MyHeritage from another testing service prior to December 16, you are grandfathered in and will continue to enjoy access to all of the extra DNA features for free.
