Treinfhir DNA Project
How to Configure Your FTDNA Profile to Enable Full Participation
- Hover over your name at the top right of the screen and click on “Account Settings.” You will see several tabs.
- Account Information Tab / Beneficiary Information: Enter “Treinfhir Project Admins” as beneficiary of your kit. This is a quick 3-step process: 1) Click the radio button next to “Designate a Group Project’s administrator(s)”. 2) Select the “Treinfhir” project. 3) Click “SAVE”.
- Account Information Tab / Kit Manager: Consider naming a kit manager if you’d like someone to act on your behalf during your lifetime, such as a younger genealogist in your family, or a Treinfhir Project Admin.
- Genealogy Tab / Surnames: Add surnames in your ancestry, including both “Treinfhir” and the way you spell it.
- Genealogy Tab / Earliest Known Ancestors: Enter name and location of your oldest known ancestors as specifically as possible. Naming “County Monaghan, Ireland” is better than just “Ireland.”. Naming a townland is best when you know it.
- Privacy & Sharing Tab / Matching Preferences: Opt in to matching. Select “all levels” for match sharing for all tests you have taken.
- Project Preferences Tab / Group Project Admin Access: Grant all current and future Treinfhir Project admins “advanced” access.
- Project Preferences Tab / Group Project Profile: Opt in.
- Project Preferences Tab / Coding Region Sharing: Opt in.
- Notification preferences Tab: Do as you wish. You see that you can have more or fewer emails from FTDNA.
