Sample Administrator's Welcome to Project

 Here is a sample welcome email.  Feel free to use it or modify it as you wish. 

Worldfamilies no longer gives code identity numbers to new project member, so you will need to modify the welcome if you wish to give a code identity number to new project members. 

• We will post use your kit number and earliest known ancestor to post your results and your kit number to identify your pedigree. (We do not identify you by name at our site, but do identify the researcher listed with the pedigree. who could be you)
• We have a website dedicated to this project. The project pages navigation is in the menu bar across the top of each project page.  You’ll find the Patriarch and y-Results pages to be most important over time, but will want to look at all of the pages to see what is there. (There is also a lot of reference information in the left side bar)

• The most important thing we do is to correlate genealogies to DNA results   We encourage everyone who tests to also post their pedigree at the Pedigree Forum, so that participants and researchers can compare pedigrees as well as test results. Click on the link “Pedigrees” in the project navigation bar to post. Your administrator will post your pedigree on the project's Patriarch Page.
