DNA Group Projects

Surname/tag: DNA

The goal of this project is to help DNA Group Administrators create, manage and maintain information associated with DNA group Projects.

Privacy of Testers must be protected - do not list a testers name within any information on a Group Project Page - including as the anchor to a pedigree or relationship trail. Listing Kit #'s is not a privacy issue - to associate the name with the kit is. IF a user enters their name that is fine and will appear in the changes feed

From Family Tree DNA:

"Those who take a Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) Test may join:

Paternal lineage projects such as a Surname Project for all who have the same surname or a variant. Paternal lineage projects may also be a project specific to a suspected shared ancestor. Y-chromosome Geographical Projects to verify a possible point of origin for the paternal line. After testing, you may join a Y-Chromosome Haplogroup project to explore your haplogroup in a historic context.

Those who take a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) Test may join:

Maternal Lineage Projects for individuals that have or suspect having the same maternal line. Mitochondrial Geographical Projects to verify a possible point of origin for the maternal line. After testing, you may join an mtDNA Haplogroup project to explore your haplogroup in a historic context."

DNA Group Projects are very closely associated with Surname or Name Study Projects which may already exist on WikiTree. Collaboration with existing Projects is imperative to take advantage of all of WikiTree's features. Before creating a DNA project, please review the list of Name Studies already existing on WikiTree and work with the projects to link these companion projects together. Place Studies can be incorporated as well.

Creating a DNA Group Project

WikiTree has great information for creating a Free Space Project. Please read through this information, then paste the DNA Group Project Template into the space you have just created.

Step by Step Guide

1. Go to "Add" Menu, top of page, scroll to and click "New Thing"
2. Add Title (should be primary name) ie: Golden DNA Group Project
3. Add other surname, ie: Goulding, Gold... (3 surnames per field)
4. Add locations if applicable
5. Paste the DNA Group Project Template into the Text box or use the DNAGP Conversion Application.
6. Add relationship trails or pedigrees. Use the Relationship Trails Conversion Application to get the format into wiki markup. Here is a WikiTree quick guide to Wiki-markup formatting]
7. Add information and images as needed.

Categories

Categories are a way for WikiTree to cross reference things, please add these categories to your group project page.

• [[Category:DNA Group Projects]]
• [[Category:One_Name_Studies]]
• [[Category:One_Place_Studies]] if relevant

Add to relevant profiles:

• [[Category:<surname> DNA Group Project]] if relevant

Full Sequence mtDNA haplogroup Earliest Known Ancestor

For mtDNA you can identify the Full Sequence mtDNA haplogroup Earliest Known Ancestor, by placing this template on the EKA ancestor for a direct maternal, matrlinieal line. Add this category to the profile, [[Category: <haplogroup> FS mtDNA Haplogroup]] You can also add a category for the women who match the EKA so they all appear together in a category, [[Category:<haplogroup>mtDNA Group1]]
