Helping you steer your project

Surname DNA Projects can vary from a simple project including only a handful of carefully picked participants who are tested at one time to a wide-ranging project involving hundreds of participants from many countries who are tested over many years. Often, a researcher starts a Surname DNA Project after exhausting the leads offered by traditional genealogy research.
Simple or complex, small or large, a project requires an Administrator. That person (or team) is responsible for identifying participants, coordinating arrangements and communicating results. For large or extended projects, we recommend that at least two people share the administration.

While a Surname DNA Project can be an exciting experience, it can also be intimidating. World Families Network (WFN) was created to make it easier to start, manage and especially to report a Surname DNA Project. We have distilled our learning from running a number of Surname Projects, including the 200-man Barton DNA Project, into something we think will be useful for you.
