Just a follow-on note (because someone asked me) purchasing a test kit through the WikiTree affiliate link doesn't change or limit your account with the testing company in any way.

The specific question had to do with participation in a Family Tree DNA Surname Project if the test kit isn't purchased through the Project's webpage. As I described in this post, it does require a couple of mouse clicks to join a project after you receive your new FTDNA kit number, but it's literally a 30-second operation. If you buy the test kit from the Project's webpage you'll be joined to the Project automatically; that's the only difference.

Answer 1

Thanks for the reminder, Keith.  With the sale going on, I think I'm going to finally do this.

Keep me posted... I'll be a DNA testing buddy!

Answer 2

FYI, AncestryDNA announced today that its autosomal test is on sale for $69 rather than the usual $99. They're matching Family Tree DNA's August sale price.

And the competitive marketplace is good for all of us!
