My (new!) cousin is trying to upload her AncestryDNA results to ftDNA, and running into errors.  Two questions: * Is ftDNA accepting AncestryDNA's results from its most current chip? * Does she upload the zipped or unzipped file? Really, I looked on ftDNA and DNAADOPTION.com.  Not finding an answer to the latter question. Thanks!

I haven't heard any problems with people uploading AncestryDNA data from the current chip. Uploading the zipped file should work ok. If there are problems, I would open the raw data file and make sure that it looks complete. The zipped file should be about 5.7 MB in size.

This problem has been reported many places. Apparently FTDNA is looking for a specific line of text in the header, and AncestryDNA changed that. The work-around was to open the file with a text editor (e.g. Windows WordPad) and change the phrase "AncestryDNA array version: V1.0" to read "AncestryDNA array version: V2.0". But now people are reporting that AncestryDNA resurrected the V2.0 phrase for fresh downloads and something isn't working again. The saga continues. MyHeritage uploads have also been a problem for months. There is a thread on the FTDNA forums which you could check from time to time for the latest news. http://forums.familytreedna.com/showthread.php?p=443198#post443198 FTDNA will accept either the zipped or unzipped file.
