About us
Participation is easy and DNA testing is quick and painless. Your privacy is maintained. You are sent a DNA test kit in the mail by Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) with a release form to be signed. To conduct the test, you use a small brush, and stroke the inside of your cheeks. The brush is then placed in a tube, and the procedure is repeated hours later with a second brush and tube. The kit is then returned by mail to FTDNA. The lab will analyze the DNA and provide your test result in about 8 weeks.
To maintain your privacy, the lab will assign a number to your DNA sample and you are furnished with a unique username and password for your private webpage on the FTDNA website. The lab at FTDNA will automatically notify you of others who share your DNA signature and who would be willing to correspond with you. For Y-DNA you are given the choice of comparing your result to the group or to the entire database. As the project administrator, I will compare the results of all the participants and prepare and update a chart of these results on this website.
