1.   Send the pedigree by email directly to carrie@worldfamilies.net in the simplified form described below  (If you send it this way, your pedigree will only be posted on the Patriarch Page, and will not be included in the Pedigree Forum)
Be sure to include

a.       the email address you wish to be posted with the pedigree

b.       the kit number of the project participant whose pedigree this is

c.       The name, birthdate, birthplace, and spouse for each generation in the direct male line.

2.   Post your pedigree on the Pedigree Forum.  Then the project administrator will manually add it to the Patriarch page, typically within a few days. To get to the Pedigree Forum: Click the “back” button to find the Palatine Family Pedigrees thread (You must be logged in to post on the forum.)
