Hello everyone.
I hope all are safe from the Sobig.f virus.
I would like to know if anyone of you would be interested in starting a
CARD DNA surname project. I certainly hope so.
It takes 6 participants to start the project. The cost is $99.00 for
1 DNA test. If we could get enough people interested, and each pledged
a few dollars, it would help. We need 6 males born with the CARD
surname from different branches of the Card name for the Y-chromosome
test.
I have a brother Andy U. Card, age 86 , whom I can get to do this test.
PLEASE, want you help getting some one also.
THIS TEST WILL BENEFIT US ALL searching the Card surname.
It would help, if, some one with a home page with Card info would be the
project administrator. ANY VOLUNTEERS, I do not have a home page,
URL.
Here is the web site you can go to for more info on DNA:
http://www.FamilyTreeDNA.com
Also, below is some info I copied from that web site.
Thank you for your time and help. Imo Lee Card Greenwood
Family Tree DNA SURNAME PROGRAM
Many people have asked about using Family Tree DNA's services as a tool
for Surname projects.
We perform this service all the time and have established a protocol
that allows us to transfer the routine data management tasks to you and,
thereby, reduce the cost of the testing.
You may either join a project in progress, or start a new one. To start
a new project, follow the instructions below.
Here are the elements necessary to start a project:
A minimum of 6 participants is required.
Choose a Group Administrator who will handle the data management of your
family's Surname Project. The Group Administrator will be Family Tree
DNA's direct link to your project.
The Group Administrator will have access to a secure page where your
project's status is updated daily. Family Tree DNA will distribute legal
release forms allowing for the sharing of the test results with the
Group Administrator. Test kits and payments may be submitted
individually or as a group to FTDNA for processing.
Test results will be returned to the Group Administrator as they are
received by the office. Each participant will also receive a certificate
and report containing their personal test results. The staff of FTDNA
will help you interpret the meaning of your test results.
FTDNA will consult with you on the minimum number of test takers you
will need to reconstruct your family tree depending upon how many
branches of your family will participate in the project.
To receive more information about how to start your own family Surname
project, please e-mail to Surname Projects.
