If you are a Family Tree DNA customer, having already been tested for the Y-DNA or the mtDNA, there is no need to purchase a kit from the Genographic Project. In a few weeks we will make available in your personal page at Family Tree DNA, a tool that will allow you to upload your results to The Genographic Project and have your own personal page there. There will be a nominal fee for this upload, and proceeds from this fee will be directed to the Genographic's Legacy Project , which will support education and cultural preservation projects among participating indigenous groups. Also, and very important, I was asked by Spencer Wells to post the following message to the list. We will be compiling those questions that he is referring to and we are studying the best way to post the answers. ******************************************************************************************************** At 11:31 PM 4/13/2005, you wrote: >Hi Max & Bennett, > >Great to see you in DC, and thanks again for your support over the past >year as we head into this historic project.
