- Haplogroup (SNP) — large group descended from ancient ancestor.
- Haplotype (STR) — small group — paternal ancestry and cousins.
- Modal value — number that occurs most often — used to estimate ancestor's haplotype.
- Use tools offered by FTDNA and others to find matches outside the project.
- Locate male descendants of unrepresented branches and encourage them to join the project.
- Research lines that the DNA indicates are possible ties to your own.
