They pay a percentage of each test sold to people who get others to buy them, and solicit *affiliates*. It may all be well and good, but I'd certainly want to know that for sure before participating.

Glenora: I am not an FTDNA Associate and I get no money from them for anything. I happen to believe we need to use Y DNA as another way of doing genealogy and I strongly urge people to get a study started on their surname, or to participate in one if it is already ongoing. As you imply, I might not participate in one where the person organizing it is getting any afiliate fees. However, since there are several testing companies, there is nothing stopping one from starting a study at the lab of their choice. Regards, Steven C.
