Patriarch Page
Notes on Pedigrees

• You don’t have to be a test participant to post your family pedigree
• To submit your pedigree, click on "Pedigree" in the navigation bar at the top of your project's webpages, or "Add your Pedigree" on the Patriarchs Page.  Either link will take you to the Pedigree Forum where you can post your pedigree.
• The project administrator posts the pedigrees on the Patriarch page in chronological order, linking families when possible. (As the project develops and genetic lineages emerge, projects may group the pedigrees by genetic lineage, folowed by those with no match and then by those with no test representative.)
• We recommend a stripped down pedigree for this page. 
  • Each ancestor’s information should fit on one line, and include name, birth date and birth place and wife’s name. (when all of the info is not available, a substitution is permitted.)
  • The Pedigree is intended to allow a researcher to identify a family of interest.  It is NOT intended to provide all of the information that is known on this family.  
  • A pedigree does not include any marriage information other than the wife’s name, and does not include any death information or any details on the wife. 
  • Our postings begin with the earliest known ancestor. This name will have a link to your complete posting on the Pedigree Forum. 
• The researcher’s name and email address is important and is shown in black on the line with their earliest ancestor  
• The Participant’s code identity will be shown in red on the last generation
