RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Transferring your DNA to My Heritage DNA before December 1
Marsha S, The analogy I am coming up with is your raw DNA data is like having money in a bank. The "banks" in this scenario are FTDNA and MyHeritage. You can take your money out of one bank and put it in another. You can take your raw data from one company and put it in another. Your money is yours to do with it as you wish. And your raw data is also yours to do with as you wish. This initial post is about DNA testing companies (like banks). GEDMatch is a 3rd party tool. I haven't yet come up with an analogy for it yet. Only thing I can sort of come up with is banks (in America) are FDIC insured. GedMatch isn't. Anyone can access it, even law enforcement. But that's a different topic for a different email.
