About MyHeritage Raw Data Files
The MyHeritage raw data contains similar information to the 23andMe and AncestryDNA data, but it is in a slightly different format – a .csv or comma-separated values file type.
A .csv file is a type of text file with values that are separated by commas, this means it will not work with our App in that format.
