Many people cannot find their Y-DNA results on the Results Page of the project they have joined. What's going on? Why are everyone else's results there but not yours? Why are they missing?
The answer is quite simple and you can easily fix it in 30 seconds. Just watch this YouTube video, or follow the instructions below.
Here is how you make your Y-DNA results publicly-visible ...
1) log in to your account at FTDNA
2) go to Account Settings (from the drop down menu when you click on your name in the top right)
3) click on the Project Preferences tab
4) scroll down to Project Sharing
5) click on the "Opt in to Sharing" button, so that it turns from grey (OFF) to dark blue (ON)
And that's it. Your Y-DNA results will be visible on the public Results Page of any projects you have joined at FTDNA. And you can reverse your decision at any time you want. Just click on the same button and it turns itself OFF. Simple!
Now your Y-DNA results are working for you in the background rather than being hidden away doing nothing. And this can benefit your own genealogical research as well as that of others.
