ADAMTHWAITE DNA PROJECT
in association with
Funding
Although the cost of y-DNA
testing has come down over the years, it is still not cheap! In order
to have meaningful results, it is best to use 25 or 37 marker tests and
even with the discounted price for a One-name Project, these currently
cost
- US$148 (about £75) for a male
yDNA 25 marker test; and
- US$189 (about £95) for a male
yDNA 37 marker test.

Family Tree DNA are offering a reduced rate for
tests, just till the end of September 2008
order your test kit NOW!
Any tests carried out are held
by the company for 25 years, and can be upgraded at any time for a
further fee.
We are a comparatively small
one-name study – and have only a limited number of potential male direct
line Adamthwaite descendants for testing. Realistically, we are
unlikely to find more than about 10 - 20 people to test. So, for most of us,
we can only stand by and wait for (or encourage) someone else to agree
to be tested. But we can all help by making a small financial
contribution towards the costs of the tests! After all, we will all
benefit from the research findings.
Family Tree DNA offers a secure
fund holding service – so if you would like to contribute to the cost of
testing, please visit the following site to make your donation:
http://www.familytreedna.com/contribution.html making sure that you
specify that the donation should be held by the ‘ADAMTHWAITE DNA
project’.
If you are a male Adamthwaite
and would be willing to be tested as part of the Adamthwaite DNA Project,
please
contact the Project Co-ordinator to
find out how we can help with funding for the test - it is important
that you make contact BEFORE you complete the test order form!
