What the DNA Project Portal is:

As the main page says, the DNA Projects Portal is an introductory site to a number of Surname DNA Projects.

It comes in two sections:

  • the Portal section - where surname projects are listed with their relevant links to surname related information for further information
  • the Lineages section - where specific surnames have much more detailed information on DNA results and lineages

The site does NOT contain any information about DNA testing as such, but links are provided to the relevant information to be found on both Family Tree DNA and the World Families Network with their very informative pages about the process, costs, etc.

Changes:

See the Site Project Diary for what changed, when and why.

History:

I was inspired by two speakers at the 2008 TMG Conference Cruise to try and create a generic template for coordinating, and presenting, dna project pages, and related information, and decided to leverage on the power and flexibility of both TMG and Second Site to try and pull together multi-site DNA information into one place.
This being also fuelled by trying to reduce the manual effort required to maintain patriarch trees, result updates etc on my existing projects.

Feedback appreciated, as are additional links for existing projects, and/or new surname pages.
