How to Sponsor a DNA Study Participant

Do you have an interest in Arnold genealogy? Would you like to help with the Arnold DNA Study, but can't participate directly because you don't meet the criteria of being a male Arnold? Do you have a relative who would like to participate but can't pay for all or some of the cost?

One way to help is by contributing to the Arnold DNA Study's general fund.

Family Tree DNA has arranged a convenient way for interested researchers to pay for some or all of a participant's test. Just go to their sponsorship page and read the details. You can pay by check, credit card or PayPal.

Important: If you make a contribution, you must specify that it's for the Arnold study. There's a way to do that on each of the payment forms.

All contributions will be placed in the general fund for the Arnold DNA Study. Unless you indicate otherwise, your contribution will be used for any participant expressing a need. Otherwise, you may specify that the funds should be applied to a particular participant and that will happen.

For your reference, a list of available tests and their costs can be found here.

If you have any questions at all, contact the study coordinator.
