The benefits of being a DNA project administrator (Katherine Borges)

Family Tree DNA now hosts over 9000 different surname, regional and haplogroup projects, all run by volunteer project administrators. Running your own project is an opportunity to become a citizen scientist and make exciting discoveries about your particular surname, region or haplogroup of interest. This presentation will explain how to get the most from your DNA project and how to make effective use of the many admin tools provided.
