In my yDNA project, the JOIN request is not accepted automatically. I must manually accept the kit. This prevents tester kits of females with Family Finder and mtDNA tests from joining.
When a person with or without a FTDNA kit number submits a JOIN request, I receive email from FTDNA with this information. See a recent request:
""The following request to join the Stevenson project was entered at Family Tree DNA by Adrienne Stevenson. [I removed the first name]
Stevenson/Stephenson/Steenson Co. Antrim, earliest Robert Stephenson b.c.1665 Collier Co. Antrim, earliest Thomas b.c. 1750 other names in lines: Lavery, McGee
Respond to this Request:
http://gap.familytreedna.com/join-au...6-c46db629939d
or directly email this person
adrienne@magma.ca" [I have removed part of the address]
As it turned out, the test kit number was for Family Finder and I had to then remove the member.
2. IF the test information would have been included that gave me the test ordered by this person, I would have known whether to accept the JOIN request and emailed the person directly.
As it stands now, I have to accept the request so I might see the account and tests ordered.
This change would make my job as Project Administrator a lot easier to manage.
