The study is non-profit and receives no money. We volunteer our time to manage and disseminate the data and are available to help interpret individual test results.
To join the study project you need to take a DNA test which is a simple cheek swab on the inside of the mouth. Females wishing to participate in studying their paternal line will need to test a brother, father, uncle, cousin with the surname.
By participating in the study you will receive the group rate from FTDNA.
