How to Join the Malta Project
Current Family Tree DNA Customers: Go to your Family Tree DNA personal page and click on the blue icon labelled "Join" (This is in the left hand column, below your name and kit number.) This will bring you to a page with the title "Group Join." Scroll down this page and look for the section titled "Dual Geographic Projects." Next, click on the letter "M" in that section, which sends you to another page. On that page click on "Malta" which sends you, finally, to the page where you can scroll down and click on the "Join" button, near the bottom.
National Geographic's Genographic Project members: Any one who has been tested by the Genographic Project can upload their results for free to Family Tree DNA and then join projects. To upload your results to Family Tree DNA, go to your Genographic Project "Results" page. At the bottom of that page it says "To learn more about your family history..." Click on that and follow the steps and your results will be added to Family Tree DNA's database. Then use the instructions above (for Current Family Tree DNA Customers), to join the Malta Project. (Family Tree DNA customers may also upload their results to the Genographic Project. This will allow you to include your results in the five year international study. There is a charge to upload either your yDNA or mtDNA results to the Genographic Project. Look for the "Genographic Project" tab on your Family Tree DNA personal page to upload your results.)
Just starting out in DNA testing?
Just click on the link labelled "Join this Project" in the upper left hand corner of this page. This will send you to a page where you can fill out the form to join and order a test kit.
**NOTE: This is a Geographic DNA Project (not a surname project). This means the project is only open those who are Maltese or of Maltese descent. If you have a surname that is similar to a Maltese surname, but you are not Maltese or of Maltese descent, you will be removed.**
