MyHeritage and FamilyTreeDNA Collaboration: Transfer Your Family Tree

MyHeritage and FamilyTreeDNA Collaboration: Transfer Your Family Tree

Exciting News: MyHeritage and FamilyTreeDNA Announce New Collaboration!​

I am excited to share some fantastic news for all you genealogy enthusiasts and DNA researchers! MyHeritage and FamilyTreeDNA, two biggies in the genealogy world, have launched a new collaboration that will bring even more value to your family history research.

What’s New?

Seamless Family Tree Transfer: FamilyTreeDNA users can now transfer their family trees to MyHeritage for free! This integration allows you to continue building and expanding your family tree on MyHeritage, taking advantage of its super powerful genealogy tools and features.

Access to MyHeritage’s Robust Tools: By transferring your family tree to MyHeritage, you gain access to a wide range of advanced genealogy tools and technologies that are not available on FamilyTreeDNA. This includes tools for record matching, automatic matches to other family trees, photo enhancements, and much more.

Voluntary Transfer: While transferring your tree data to MyHeritage is voluntary, it is HIGHLY encouraged. FamilyTreeDNA will officially phase out their family tree builder on September 9, 2024. After this date, family trees on FamilyTreeDNA will become read-only, although you can still transfer them to MyHeritage.

Focus on DNA Testing: This collaboration allows FamilyTreeDNA to focus on what they do best – DNA testing services and reporting – while providing their users with access to MyHeritage’s top-notch family tree tools. 

How to Transfer Your Family Tree

1. Consent: Provide consent on both the FamilyTreeDNA and MyHeritage websites.
2. Transfer: Follow the prompts to seamlessly transfer your family tree data to MyHeritage.
3. Enjoy: Start using MyHeritage’s powerful features to grow and enrich your family tree! ​

Why Transfer Now?

Transferring your family tree data as soon as possible ensures you won’t lose any functionality when FamilyTreeDNA phases out their tree builder. Plus, early transfer gives you immediate access to all the fantastic tools MyHeritage offers.

For more details about this exciting integration, check out the official blog post on MyHeritage. Let’s spread the word and make the most of this new collaboration to enhance our genealogy research!

Happy researching!
