Old Ancestry DNA Results

[CelticMom]

My father did ancestry DNA testing quite a few years back before they brought out the new ancestry one.

When they ceased it on ancestry you had to download all the data to save it. Is there anywhere I can re-upload those results and how do I extract the information, as it appears to just be an excel sheet.

thanks,

Might be worth a look at Gedmatch.com. They have a section on how to upload results so as good a place as any to start

Correction. All tests are chargeable, different costs for different numbers of markers.

Is there a UK version of this? I did a DNA test with Gene Tree in 2004.
They were subsumed into Ancestry in 2010. When I rang Ancestry to ask about this they told me they could not access any Gene Tree results.

Kooky, I don't think so. When Gene Tree were taken over by Ancestry, they took over all their DNA tests, according to this article from 2012. I think your results may be lost forever, unfortunately, unless anybody knows differently.

Thanks, I may just get a new ancestry done in that case.
