I started to answer an off-line question, and decided to post it here for all: Joining the NN DNA Project: People usually get tested from an existing project. We then basically link someone's FTDNA kit/results to other projects they want to join. These typically include Y-DNA or mtDNA haplogroup projects or geographic projects (like ours). This does not change their personal FTDNA webpage, it just adds their webpage to another group. Each person's webpage has info (ancestors, surnames, contact info, gedcoms) that the person has entered, and results data and information that FTDNA automatically uploads. The Admin (like me) is responsible for the information about the project (description, goals/objectives, updates, etc) and forming any groups with the Y or mt lines. Each group, ours included, has an FTDNA Public website. Ours is: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/NorthernNeck-VA/ You can see the Y-DNA results and the mtDNA results there, just as you can by going to the various other public websites where these Kits are - they are conveniently displayed here (also) for our group analysis. Full names and emails are NOT divulged by FTDNA on these lists which are automatically updated by FTDNA (a big help to me). FTDNA has not come up with any way to show Family Finder results on the public website. We have to work this out for ourselves - clearly a first step will be who-matches-whom with a NN Common Ancestor. More later... Jim - Sent from my iPhone - FaceTime!

He also needs to know if he has your permission to your kit#, email, etc. Any questions, email him, please copy me. I don't have any idea how to get into our project or link it to this one. > > Craig > > Begin forwarded message: > >> From: Jim Bartlett <jim4bartletts@verizon.net> >> Date: October 19, 2012 1:23:57 AM EDT >> To: "va-northern-neck@rootsweb.com" <va-northern-neck@rootsweb.com> >> Subject: Re: [VA-NORTHERN-NECK] NorthernNeck-VA DNA Group is up and ready! >> Reply-To: va-northern-neck@rootsweb.com >> >> Fixed, Thanks, >> >> Jim - Sent from my iPhone - FaceTime! >> >> On Oct 18, 2012, at 11:24 PM, "Ann Avery Hunter" <Sanseann@triad.rr.com> wrote: >> >>> I see the page for the project with the link to join at the bottom, but the >>> space for description is blank. >>> >>> Ann >>> >>> -----Original Message----- >>> From: Jim Bartlett >>> Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2012 10:32 PM >>> To: va-northern-neck@rootsweb.com >>> Subject: [VA-NORTHERN-NECK] NorthernNeck-VA DNA Group is up and ready! >>> >>> >>> FTDNA did a tweak, and our NorthernNeck-VA Group is now listed. >>> >>> 1.
