Hi: I am forwarding a message that I received from FamilyTreeDNA.com - the company that handled our recent male Y DNA matching. If anyone is interested in joining the Y testing but does not have the funds - let me know and I'll ask if the group is interested in starting a fund to which we can donate. Also they have also lowered their charges for the female testing (mtDNA) to keep in line with Rootsweb's dictum for the DNA lists and those prices can be seen at: http://www.ftdna.com/mtDNA_promo.asp Regards Nan Wolf Administrator Hinds Surname DNA Project at FamilyTreeDNA.com Administrator Hinds-L mail list 71532.734@compuserve.com -------------Forwarded Message----------------- From: INTERNET:max@familytreedna.com, INTERNET:max@familytreedna.com To: [unknown], [71532,734] Date: 10/4/2004 12:14 PM RE: News from Family Tree DNA To Hinds group manager, Several Surname Projects have different sources of funding to help pay for some of their members' tests. In that regard, many times we have received requests from Group administrators to set up a Fund for their projects. The new link in your GAP - General Fund - is an area that will keep track of incoming funds, the balance in the account and to which kits the funds were applied. Family Tree DNA will enter the information for tracking purposes as soon as funds are received or disbursed. Funds can be sent by check, credit card or Paypal (in which case it needs to be sent to info@familytreedna.com), and identified as "For the XYZ Project General Fund". We would also like to bring to your attention that we have launched www.Mitosearch.org, the first worldwide mtDNA public database, and in conjuction with the launch of Mitosearch we are offering - during the month of October - mtDNA tests and its bundles at reduced prices. More information about it can be found at http://www.ftdna.com/mtDNA_promo.asp. As always, thank you for your continued support. E-mail me any time!
