Re: DNA tests for genealogy in Israel #dna

MyHeritage DNA users need to use a VPN, or equivalent, in order to access that portion of the MH website while in Israel.

Access: MyHeritage did not permit access to the DNA section when my cousin was visiting (Israel) from the US. She had no problem accessing other databases. Data: The data from Ancestry is probably larger, but not better. If a cousin tests with one company and does not share the data with the one you have accesses, they will not show up. Autosomal testing is quit confusing. I have relatives my sister, mother and father's brother do not. Many of the entries are the fine, but there are a few dozen unique too each of us, the same for another sister/sister test I know of. Yes, I am listed as my mothers child and uncle/nephew of my uncle, and sibling of my sister. Downloading matches. MyHeratage has/had a way to download all your matches as a spreadsheet file. Ancestry has no way to download data and since they updated the way to review data, is very poor considering I have a few hundred new matches every month and well over 5000 "4th cousins and closer" and full access to 9 tests.

You can always upload Ancestry results to others, but not vise versa. I have more discoveries from Ancestry matches than from others combined. Alex Fuchs
