Family Tree DNA
makes
results available to participants both
electronically and by regular mail. When the lab
completes a test, they upload the results to their
database and notify you via e-mail that the results are
available online. The online results are accessed from
the login box on
FTDNA’s home page.
To see an example of online results for a standard user,

here.
A certificate and a report are sent by regular mail. The
certificate contains the name of the tested individual,
the results, and, in the case of the Native American or
Cohanim test, shows whether the results were positive or
negative. To see examples of the certificates, click
here.
When your test results are returned to you, you will be given access to the second part of your personal page, which we call Stage 2. It is very important that you set your preferences on your personal page, as this will determine how your results will be compared to others. In addition, there are other features of the FTDNA website that will now be available to you. See our page on your Personal Page at FTDNA for more information.
