CERTIFICATES
(for
FTDNA Tests)
When
you as a participant in the Knowles Surname DNA Project obtain an
initial 12, 25, 37 or 67-marker Y-DNA test from Family Tree DNA,
your test results will be posted on your personal page on the FTDNA
Web site (protected by your personal code and password). In
addition, a frameable certificate displaying
your allele values (plus an
informative report) will be mailed to you. A sample
Y-DNA certificate is displayed at the bottom of this page.
Test participants or their sponsors may also want to order additional certificates
for other members of the family, where the DNA results of the person tested also
apply to the other family members. For example, if your father was tested,
perhaps you would like to obtain certificates for your siblings, and/or your grandchildren,
since your father's results apply to these persons as well. A selection to
"order certificates" now appears on a
participant's Family Tree DNA
personal page.
If you initially order a 12-marker test, and
then later upgrade to a 25 (or 37 or 67) marker test, you only receive a free certificate
with the initial 12-marker test. However, a new certificate for the 25 (or
37 or 67) marker test is available for a small additional charge.
When you have upgraded to a 25 (or 37
or 67)
marker test and want to obtain a new certificate for the 25 (or 37 or 67) marker test, simply click
on "order certificates" to
place an order. The same applies if you order an mtDNA test,
and later upgrade to mtDNA Plus. You only received a free certificate for the
mtDNA test, but you can now order a new certificate for the mtDNA Plus test.
If you initially order the Y-DNA 25-marker
test, or the mtDNA
Plus, you will receive that test's certificate. In other words, all the tests at Family Tree
DNA include a certificate, except the Y-DNA upgrade and mtDNA Plus
upgrade. This is illustrated in the list below:

applicable.
