 Austin-Austen
DNA Program Overview
The Austin-Austen DNA Program supports two DNA
Projects: (1) Austin (Y-DNA) Project, and (2) Austin Autosomal DNA
(at-DNA) Project. As shown in the figure, each participant in the
program supports one leg of a tree-legged stool: AFAOA with its DNA
support staff, and its extensive Austin-Austen databases, YOU
the researcher with your DNA data and results, and our commercial
vendor Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) which provides DNA testing, data
comparisons, and displays results. Both projects require a single
membership account with FTDNA which automatically enrolls you in the
combined program. You can join the program even if you were tested
by a commercial vendor other than FTDNA. Additional details are
provided under each of our two Projects.
AUSTIN FAMILY TREES - There is a huge benefit in coupling
your Austin DNA testing with contextual and genealogical information
on the AFAOA’s WEB site. This free genealogical WEB site requires
that you register on the site to view/copy data and information that
has been assembled over AFAOA’s decades of collaborative work on
various lines of Austin surnames. Membership in AFAOA itself is
strongly recommended* but not required to participate in the DNA
program.
