Why is geni advertising myheritage dna tests when it's not possible to import the tests into geni?
Can anyone tell me why I spent money on a dna test suggested by geni that I can't import into geni.

Geni Support Team Hi Cory, thanks for reaching out. Although we currently do not support uploads of MyHeritage DNA tests to Geni, we do recommend taking a MyHeritage DNA test because MyHeritage provides very powerful tools to help you make the most out of your DNA test results. These include the One-to-Many Chromosome Browser, AutoClusters for DNA matches, and the Theory of Family Relativity, and much more.
We also have a partnership with Family Tree DNA, which allows you to import your DNA test results to your Geni profiles. If you would like to receive DNA matches to other Geni users, you may want to consider uploading your raw MyHeritage DNA results to Family Tree DNA ( https://www.familytreedna.com/autosomal-transfer ). Once your results have been transferred, you will be able to link your Family Tree DNA account to Geni and import your results. Simply follow the steps in this FAQ: https://help.geni.com/hc/en-us/articles/229707687-How-do-I-link-Family-Tree-DNA-test-results-to-my-profile-

Cory Michael Kennerfeldt Family Tree DNA won't import tests processed after May 7 2025.

Cory Michael Kennerfeldt and this has not been answered yet, I was originally refering to the Family Tree DNA upload plus linking as "importing".
Family Tree DNA won't accept the MyHeritage DNA test.

Geni Support Team Hi Cory, we were unaware that Family Tree DNA would no longer accept MyHeritage DNA tests taken after May of this year. If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, you may contact MyHeritage support https://www.myheritage.com/contact-myheritage
