We invite you to submit your "Pedigree" for the Durham Family Project Patriarch page. (You don’t have to be a test participant to post your family pedigree.)
There are two ways to make your pedigree available to the project administrator for posting on the Patriarch Page:
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
Email address you wish to be posted with the pedigree
Kit number of the project participant whose pedigree this is
Name, birthdate, birthplace, spouse for each generation (direct male line).
