Projects create opportunities for people to work with others to explore their common
genetic heritage. FamilyTreeDNA encourages customers’ participation in projects.
Membership is free and voluntary. Members may join or leave a project at any time.
Project Administrators are unpaid volunteers who have an interest in the history
and genealogy of a particular haplogroup, lineage, geographic region, ethnic group,
or surname. They have access to tools to compare results and facilitate communication
among members.
Please be aware that FamilyTreeDNA has a firm policy against creating new projects
that overlap with the themes and goals of existing projects. Prior to submitting
your application, please make sure that we do not have an existing project with
the same theme. To search our current projects, visit our homepage (www.familytreedna.com)
and use the “Project Search” on the right side of the page. If you do find a project
with an overlapping theme, we suggest you contact the current group administrator
to find out if you can help manage the group.
If you are interested in starting a new project with FamilyTreeDNA, please fill
out the following application. After review, you will be notified via email if
your new project proposal has been accepted. Please allow up to 10 business days for review.
