The
administrators of this website have no financial interest in the DNA laboratory and are not involved in the collection of fees for
the tests. They act only as unpaid family volunteers. Participants therefore must accept that these volunteers can have
no responsibility for lost or misplaced samples, results that do not meet expectations, or any faults that can be found in the process.
The lab of Family TreeDNA is at the research laboratory at the University of Arizona and it tests very limited materials in only
one chromosome in the cell and guarantees complete privacy.
