The Pilgrim Francis Cooke DNA Project
To join the Pilgrim Francis Cooke DNA project you need to have a valid DNA Kit number at FamilyTreeDNA and you need to be a member of the Pilgrim Francis Cooke Society, or the Mayflower Society, with a proven line to Mayflower passenger Francis Cooke.

If you meet the above qualification for joining the DNA project, log into your FTDNA account and under Myprojects filter for Cooke or Francis Cooke and you will see the link to do a join request. After I receive your join request I may ask you a couple of questions and then I will approve your request to include you in the project.
Please mention your GSMD member number as that will speed up the approval process, otherwise, you will need to submit a documented pedigree for each generation from you to Pilgrim Francis Cooke.
