Hi @barney572
Thank you for sharing your story. I understand why you would like your DNA report and whakapapa kept together for your whānau.
FamilySearch does not store or transfer DNA test results. It is not a DNA testing company. Your DNA report would stay with the company where you tested.
However, you can use FamilySearch to record the family history information you learn from your DNA results, including names, relationships, stories, photos, and memories, so your whānau can better understand their family connections.
You may find it helpful to view the DNA Frequently Asked Questions page found here: https://www.familysearch.org/en/dna-testing/faq

it would be great to have my DNA report on here as well so my direct whanau can see because alot my my family do not know who they are because my granmother put a rahui or evryone of my granmothers children and granchildren were told not to do their whakapapa or geneology because it was TAPU. But I became a mormon like my granmother which I hold as an elder in our church. Please help to transfer my SNA test to here so everything is in one place thank you. If you need my authority please get intouch with me thanks

One approach would be to create a 'DNA'-based tree, generate a GEDCOM and then upload the file to FamilySearch as a User Tree within the FamilySearch Genealogies collection

sorry for being ignorant but I don't know how to transfer my DNA test or any thing over to Famiy searchI thought that that site I got my DNA done was a public site and that one could transfer DNA to any whakapapa site . Why don't they let you transfer to another sit after all I paid for my DNA to be done theyi didn't pay for it thanks

MyHeritage is a private sector provider of genealogy services, one of which is its DNA offering. The big providers of genealogy services (MyHeritage, Ancestry, Find my Past, FamilySearch, and others) work together a lot, in particular providing a lot of public domain historical records (e.g. birth registration information, censuses) to each other's users. DNA results, however, are not in the public domain and would not be shared in this way.
As MyHeritage allows you to build your own family tree, I am assuming you have already done so, using family records, your DNA results, and public domain historical records.
There are two ways in which you can use information about your family members from your MyHeritage family tree to improve the global, collaborative FamilySearch Family Tree (FSFT):
1.follow @Mark McKenzie_1's suggestion above and then use the built-in User Tree functionality that allows you to copy information from your User Tree to FSFT, or
2.use one of the 3rd party products listed on the FamilySearch Solutions Gallery to copy information between your MyHeritage family tree and FSFT (the Solutions Gallery is here: https://www.familysearch.org/en/innovate/solutions-gallery/).
In both cases you would be copying the information one person at a time, but this is essential to avoid duplicating information provided by others; it also allows you to add the necessary sources (typically public domain historical records) to verify the information you are providing.
Note that DNA only shows levels of genetic linkage between people, so DNA alone is insufficient to verify a family tree, though it can obviously help enormously in checking an existing tree for validity and in providing hints.
