As you are aware FTDNA limits membership in the Projects to those with FTDNA test results.
This is how I skirted the issue, by posting the following on the Results page:
"The following Lineages are from test results posted by Sorenson Labs at: http://www.smgf.org/ychromosome/search.jspx
LINEAGE S1 (Tested with SMGF). This guest member is descended from the well known Thomas Oakes born about 1622 and resided in Cambridge, Middlesex, MA. His Haplotype can be viewed at Ysearch (http://www.ysearch.org/?uid= ) ID# AMZP9.
LINEAGE S2 (Tested with SMGF). This guest member is descended from George Augustus Oakes, born 1864, Marlettes, Sanilac, MI. His Haplotype can be viewed at Ysearch (http://www.ysearch.org/?uid= ) ID# SFGYM."
Requesting forgiveness is sometimes easier than asking permission. However, I do not believe this compromises the integrity of the FTDNA data presented, since it does not appear on the Y Results page and is made part of the Project Administrator's interpretive analysis of Results.
