FAQ: Joining other projects

Hello Project Members,

As you all know, our specific project primary runs through Family Tree DNA. However, the nature of our work means that we are affiliated with other projects at FTDNA as well as other companies entirely. It is often necessarily or at least very helpful for project members to be in each project, as long as it applies to the amount of testing already done. Please follow these instructions to join each specific project group. Thank you!
