About us



Sponsored DNA tests and partially-sponsored DNA tests are available to MUELLER Project members.  If you believe you qualify for a Sponsorship but are not yet a member of the Mueller Project, please email your request for sponsorship, including necessary supporting information, to a Mueller Project Administrator.  Accepting a Sponsorship confirms your agreement to be a member of the Mueller Project.  For non-members to be eligible for any fully-sponsored test, your surname must be Mueller (or similar) or you must be a genetic match to a current member of the Mueller Project.  (Details vary by sponsorship.)  These Sponsorships are in addition to any sale price which Family Tree DNA may offer.

Here's an excellent article describing the benefits of sponsorship by someone who has successfully broken through several brick walls:

Funding for sponsored tests is provided by private donors to the MUELLER Project.  Sponsorships change as some are awarded and new ones are added, so check back often!
