(Cross posted to Azores, Madeira, and IslandRoutes lists) I've been getting a lot of requests on how to join projects at Family Tree DNA (FTDNA). I guess some people don't order through the project and are floating around in the FTDNA database without a home. So here are the directions. If you are both Azorean and Madeiran, you can be in both. Or if you are say, Madeiran and Hawaiian, you can be in those too).
1) Log into your FTDNA page with your kit number and password. 2) Across the top is says: myFTDNA, DNA Tests, Projects....Point at Projects. When the drop down menu appears, click "Join a project." 3) If the Azores Islands (or Madeira or Polynesian) appears on the top, click the link and scroll down to the JOIN button at the end. 4) If the Azores Islands (or Madeira or Polynesian) is not suggested, scroll down to where it says "Search by Surname" and type: Azores (or Madeira or Polynesian). 5) When Azores Islands (or Madeira or Polynesian) appears, click the link and follow the directions. NOTE: The Polynesian DNA project requires a Join Request. You must explain your lineage to your Polynesian ancestor in order to join. Hope this helps!
