Attention: New policies at FTDNA require that each member proactively set their privacy setting as well as “op in” to many feature. Without doing this your participation in the Meek Project may be limited. You can set your preferences in the “Manage Personal Information” section of your FTDNA account after you sign in. You can view the FTDNA privacy policy at https://www.familytreedna.com/privacy-policy

The link to “Manage Personal Information” is below your name and address on your FTDNA dashboard. On the next screen there are five tabs across the top of the page.

Select the tab “Project Preferences”.   NEW! For the Meek Projects elect the “Edit” button. Open the top drop down menu, which is blank, and select “Grant full access” or "Grant limited access".

In “Matching Preferences” select “All Levels” from the three dropdown menus.
