MyHeritage can help you grow your family tree by providing you with DNA matches, but what else can you do with your MyHeritage results? Read on to find out how you can use your My Heritage login information to access and download your DNA files.
What to expect from your MyHeritage results
MyHeritage’s primary offering is their family tree builder and genetic genealogy services. You can build your family tree and upload your raw DNA data from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and FamilyTreeDNA to receive your DNA matches for free.
If you want access to other features such as ethnicity estimates and chromosome browser, you’ll need to either purchase a DNA test from the company ($79) or choose a subscription plan ($69 to $159/year). Access to their vast historical database is only available with the more expensive plans.
Despite offering DNA testing for health, MyHeritage is very limited when it comes to recommendations. If you’re interested in truly personalized health advice to help you counteract the negative effects of your genes, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
Nevertheless, if you choose to get a DNA test from MyHeritage, you’ll have access to your raw DNA data at any time for no additional cost.
