About 80% of the DNA tests for the Austin-Austen DNA Project are paid for privately by individual researchers testing their own Austin lines. These tests provide Y-chromosome DNA information for their particular Austin branch. Researchers can then try to identify their connection to a specific documented Austin line from the project's DNA Profiles Table.

The AFGS and AFAOA organizations contribute to this Fund in order to systematically fill in the DNA Profiles Table for all documented Austin lines, starting with the largest lines. Private contributions are also appreciated for the DNA Project Fund. You can contribute using your credit card by clicking here. Checks payable to "Carol R. Austin" may be sent to the Fund Coordinator:
