Code of Conduct

All project participants should be familiar with the Genetic Genealogy Standards (Jan 2015) and the FamilyTreeDNA Terms of Service.


FamilyTreeDNA projects are run by volunteer administrators who work on their projects in their own free time. They are not always professional or expert-level genealogists. In some cases it may be better to air a query to other project members via the activity feed.


Project administrators do not receive any payments or incentives from FamilyTreeDNA; project administrators are required to abide by the FamilyTreeDNA Group Project Administrator Terms & Policies.


The activity feed is a means for project members to collaborate and share their research findings with each other (it is not public), and to get to know each other. Members are encouraged to ask and answer questions on anything related to the project's topic especially in an historic or genetic context.


All participants are expected to abide by the following few basic guidelines:


• Messages and comments posted in this group should not be shared on other mailing lists, forums, Facebook groups, family trees, or other public web spaces without the consent of the project member who authored or shared such content.

• DNA conclusions must not be shared outside of the group unless or until a relationship is set up with the Whakapapa Unit or similar entities. Haplogroup descriptions on the public "Results" page are exempt because that information is public through other FamilyTreeDNA features.

• Others' individual DNA results must not be shared outside of the group without express permission.

• Respect the privacy of living persons. Information about living identities, including names, e-mail addresses, and postal addresses should only be shared if the appropriate consent has been obtained. Project posts which do not explicitly state that permission was obtained to share such information may have their post(s) deleted.

• If you are copying material from elsewhere please ensure you have permission from the content creator and that you acknowledge the source. Project posts which do not explicitly state that permission was obtained to share such information may have their post(s) deleted.

• Private e-mails and messages posted on other mailing lists, forums, and Facebook groups – whether private or public – should only be shared with the consent of the sender.
