In recognition of the fact that some individuals may find the cost of DNA testing prohibitive and that these individuals may be the only representatives of key lines in our genealogical research, FamilyTreeDNA has instituted "General Funds" to allow researchers to subsidize the testing of these key individuals. The fund can also be used as a simple way to give someone a gift of DNA testing. Please see this link at Family Tree DNA for more details. And please consider a donation to the MacVicar Y-chromosome DNA Surname Project as a way of bringing more lines into the project, especially to help some of our elder kin be tested who may not otherwise be able to afford it. The funds will be entirely collected and held by FamilyTreeDNA, but their dispursement is handled by your project administrator. You can inform your project adminstrator whose test you want subsidized with your donation or, if you wish, you can leave it up to the project administrator to decide where the funds can best be applied. A log of donations is visible at the project's FamilyTreeDNA web page (link above - if no log appears, no donations have been made).
