However, it may be possible to get sponsorship if you have a particular surname (see the Sponsored Surnames section below). Before you consider joining the project, you should read the following sections so that you understand what the DNA test can do for you and what it can't. Also, with any journey, there are risks and you should be aware of these before you sign up. What is DNA and how can it help?
