You only need to do the tedious manual data entry at Ysearch.org if you were not tested at FTDNA. If you were tested at FTDNA, log in to your member page and click the "Ysearch.org" link down at the lower left, under the "Tools" heading, then follow the instructions. One big advantage of doing it this way is that the FTDNA server transfers your data to Ysearch for you, with the bonus that it's done without error. You can upload your GEDCOM to Ysearch.org either during the creation of your account or anytime later, by clicking the button labeled GEDCOM. I used the same GEDCOM file at Ysearch that I used on my FTDNA member page. Please upload a GEDCOM containing only your patrilineal line or matrilineal line, as the case may be. Your patrilineal and matrilineal lines are the only ones in your pedigree that have any relevance to your DNA testing. Your genealogy software should allow you to pick one line to export. You can upload your full GEDCOM to WorldConnect or somewhere else.
