    I am "Tagging" this general 'Question' of yours in this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, to two (x2) specific 'Groups' in the Forum being:

    (1)  "Genetic Genealogy Research"; and,

    (2)  "Genealogy and the Y Chromosome",

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

    .

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

    @KathyAdkins9 KathyAdkins9​ some sites that allow upload of rawdna for free are my heritage, gedmatch, wikitree, and FTDNA. A quick google search will show more options. Good luck! 😊
