The FTDNA and WorldFamilies.net Relationship

FTDNA and WorldFamilies.net are not the same company, but we work together. 

Some folks are confused by the close relationship between Family Tree DNA and WorldFamilies.net.  We are not the same, but we work together.  WorldFamilies.net provides support for surname projects that are based at FTDNA. 

Family Tree DNA is the largest genetic genealogy DNA testing company in the world.  When you buy your test from FTDNA, you gain access to the largest and best DNA database for genealogy in the world.  Because of its long history in and knowledge of DNA testing for genealogy, FTDNA offers their customers the best resources available anywhere, including DNA Projects, a personal pageⁱ for their own DNA test, and a vast amount of information about your test in particular and DNA testing in general .  Take the time to look over the tools and information available to you.  More information about FTDNA

WorldFamilies.net grew out of Terry's experience as a pioneer in genetic genealogy and in administering DNA projects.  Worldfamilies.net provides free websites for any project at FTDNA to be used instead of or in addition to the FTDNA Project websites.  We also administer many FTDNA projects where no family member has stepped forward to manage the project, and we help administer many projects where the administrator needs some help with the administrative tasks.  In addition, WorldFamilies.net offers a great deal of information for DNA testees and for Project Administrators.  More information about WorldFamilies.net
