1. The Project Administrator will send a welcome message, ask for your Greathouse ancestry, and answer your questions.
2. You will be sent a sample kit from the testing provider of your choice, either DNA Heritage or Family Tree DNA.

4. The testing provider you have chosen will analyze your DNA sample and send an invoice via the Project Administrator. The invoice can be paid over a secure internet connection.
5. Your results will be made available to you and the Project Administrator on the testing providers website you have chosen, and sent to you in the mail.
6. Your results will be included anonymously with your family group, and you will be able to see how your results compare with others in your family line.
