Greetings! I’m looking for admins who run autosomal DNA projects (Family Finder, DNA Relatives, AncestryDNA) to learn about how you structure them. I know there are some out there, but access to viewing them is not possible through typical means. I know many other Admins allow FF tests to be a part of their surname (or whatever) project, but I’m looking for projects that are strictly for autosomal testing. A few questions: Is your project set-up at FTDNA and/or your own website? What are the parameters of the project? (i.e., all descendants from a certain 4th great-grandparents) What criteria is used to include testers as not everyone will match the targeted ancestors? Other nuances of the project? Many thanks! Emily If you do not hear from me in a timely manner, just write again...I was buried in email.  LOL http://writingyourmemories.blogspot.com/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~orgco2/speaker/EmilyAulicino.html http://genealem-geneticgenealogy.blogspot.com/ Northwest Regional Coordinator and Speaker for ISOGG (www.isogg.org) Administrator for thirteen FTDNA DNA Projects

Hi Emily, I administer The Captain Thomas Graves of Jamestown Autosomal DNA Project on GEDmatch/Ancestor-Projects.com. My project is open to all *proven* descendants of Captain Thomas Graves and Katherine Crowshaw; the proven lines are on The Graves Family Association website: http://www.gravesfa.org/. I compare each prospective participants' pedigree against the Captain's approved descendant chart. I have the accepted participants - recruited on 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and Family Finder - upload their raw data to GEDmatch and register for Ancestor-Projects.com. As you may already know, Ancestor-Projects is down for maintenance, but the platform permits one to compare participants from all of the companies and reports project results with intuitive matrices.
