Is there any way to input/upload DNA results into FH? I have been using AncestryDNA to get the DNA tested at this point and have uploaded the results into GEDmatch. I am just wondering if there is any way to upload it into FH.
I am planning to use FH to create a "Book of Me" for my Maternal Uncle for his birthday in July. I plan to use the Book tool and include as much as possible of his Ancestors for the book with a brief discussion of his siblings and their descendants (he has no descendants). Has anyone used FH for something like this? Do you have any tips or advice? I plan to have it professionally printed and bound.

Re: DNA results into FH and creating a "Book of Me"
Can you give a little more detail about the structure of the DNA results?
Are they relatively compact and relate separately to individuals, or are they a long report?
I suspect you need to create a custom fact Attribute called DNA Test and then the DNA results can be entered into that fact for each Individual and subsequently will appear in Reports in the Book.
If the DNA results are a long report too large for a single fact, then create a Source record to hold the DNA Results and cite that Source from the DNA Test fact.
If you have not created a custom fact before, then use Tools > Fact Types > New and enter:
Fact Name: DNA Test
Fact Type: Attribute
Record Type: Individual
Fact Set: Custom
finally click Create button, and in Fact Definition dialogue click OK.
When you have got that fact defined, ask again for advice about customising the definition, adding a Source if necessary, and using the fact in Reports.
