Hello fellow Carriers!
FamilyTreeDNA has announced a temporary sale for testing kits. It's a great time to
participate, or to get a male family member to take the test, for comparison to other
Carrier family lines. Maybe you would like to give this as a holiday gift. Those who
have tested can now clearly see that they are closely related to some lines and cannot
possibly be related to other lines.
If you have not looked at our webpage results lately, I invite you to do so now.
FamilyTreeDNA has changed the format and it is much more detailed. I have grouped the
identical and similar results together, and FTDNA has now lightly colored the specific
genes which are slight differences within those groups.

Use this page to order your kit through our project. It contains descriptions of the
different tests. I recommend testing at a minimum of 37 markers (which currently costs
less than 25 markers).

If you or someone you know wishes to join a different surname project, just go to the
familytreedna.com main page, type in the surname, and follow to their webpage.
You will notice that there is a new test listed, Family Finder. This can be taken by
males or females. The Family Finder Test helps you find family across all your lines (not
just father's father's father like yDNA or mother's mother's mother like
mtDNA), up to 6 generations back, by checking hundreds of thousands of points in your
autosomal DNA, and comparing your results with others in the Family Finder database.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
