To download DNA raw data from Family Tree DNA FTDNA, follow the simple steps given below:
Log in to your Family Tree DNA FTDNA account.
Select โmyFTDNAโ, from the menu bar.
From the drop-down option select โFamily Finderโ and then "Download Raw Dataโ.
Here you will find a number of options labeled as โBuild 36 Autosomal Raw Dataโ or โBuild 37 Autosomal Raw Dataโ. The number will not affect your results in any way. However, choose the file your third-party raw data service provider specifically asks for.
This opens a *.gz file (similar to a *.zip file) automatically.
Click "Save" to save it and you are all set!
