Surname Projects | DNAeXplained – Genetic Genealogy: A truly wonderful article by Roberta Estes on Surname Projects at FamilyTreeDNA (FTDNA). I had not been fully utilising the Advanced Matching, now I am and already have a couple of new leads. Thanks Roberta!
If you are an Aussie, please also join the Australian Settlers Project and if you have convicts the Australian Convicts Projects, it really does make it easier to spot potential connections that you match. Even more helpful would be to add Surnames and Locations to all of your DNA profiles, whether it is FTDNA or 23andme, it really does make a difference.
