Welcome to the Surname Project! DNA testing is a great way to further your research - we hope it works well for you. Here are a few key things that you need to know:
- Your code identity is xxx . We will post your code with your resultsi and 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 light gray menu across the top. 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)
Project Site: www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/xxxxxx
- 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.
