    FamilySearch does not specifically deal with DNA so not the best place to ask but I do know that some companies allow you to upload DNA from another site. If you google that question you will get lots of information. I myself tested at Ancsetry and have uploaded the results to My Heritage. I do know that you cannot take DNA from another site and upload them to Ancestry.

     

    Hope that helps some.

    As an aside ...

    .

    Due to the nature of your 'Question' ... (1) DNA & (2) Find your Biological Father

    .

    I am "Tagging" this (General) 'Question' of yours in this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, SOME specific 'Groups' in the Forum being:

    (1) "Adoption and Unknown Family Research"; and,

    (2) "Genetic Genealogy Research"; and,

    (3) "Genealogy and the Y Chromosome",

    in the hope that, the members of those groups may be able to answer/assist you.

    .

    Those Groups, are "Public", which you can join, if you wish.

    You can download your raw data from ancestry & upload it to My Heritage, Gedmatch & FTDNA

    most have a fee but some areas are free to use

    Ancestry seems to have the larger data base

     

    If you were adopted then see if you can get your identifying info from the State/Province where the adoption took place

    If not adopted it can be a struggle unless you have some information on the bio dad

     

    My 2 siblings were lucky & got a hit on Ancestry & were able to find their bio dad name

    I was not so lucky

     

    Good luck in your quest

    I would be glad to help you with your search. Hopefully enough relatives have done DNA testing with Ancestry to identify your family lines. If you would be willing to share your DNA results with me, I can take a look. My email is [email protected] if you want my help.
