In the lower left of the home page, you will find the words "DNA Forum". Just click on these words, and you will go directly to the Forum. The Forum has two message boards. One of the message boards is called "DNA and Genealogy", and it is open to both customers and visitors. Everyone is welcome to post questions, respond to questions, or browse to learn more about the fascinating subject of Genetic Genealogy. To browse this message board, from the main Forum page, simply click on the message board title. You can browse the "DNA and Genealogy" message board, but to post to the message board, you must register.

After you are registered, you can select options for your profile, by clicking the "user cp" button in the row of blue buttons above the message board.

In the row of blue buttons above the message board is a blue button labeled FAQ, for Frequently Asked Questions. It is important to read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) before you register for the Forum. Any question you have should be answered by the information at FAQ.
