Pre-Tested Participants

 

 

Family Tree DNA, of course, remains our lab of choice for all testing all new participants. However when we began this project, we discussed the possibility of receiving participants whose DNA test results had been done elsewhere. Little did we realize that this project would grow so quickly as to cause us to deal with this subject so soon. We now have participants from all over the world, much to our amazement and delight! Yes, we welcome these pre-tested participants as long as they are willing to release their DNA results and are willing to submit a pedigree for posting on this web page. The process of posting of this information is outline in the paragraphs below.

 

Pre-tested participants will not be added to the computer system at Family Tree DNA, which currently keeps track of the matches of all the people they test. As this project grows and more pre-tested participants join, the chore of manually checking everyone’s DNA scores against those already posted could very well become more than  the project coordinator can handle, at least with any degree of accuracy. So, for the time being, I will only attempt to check for exact matches only and let the interested reader take it from there. 

 

Pre-tested participants will receive a file number with the prefix letter “P”. This will immediately allow the reader to identify someone as a pre-tested participant.

 

If we receive the suggested haplogroup for each of these pre-tested participants we will, of course, post that also. Otherwise, that column will be blank.
