Genealogical DNA Project Membership Form

Join Your Genealogical DNA Project Community

Whether you're tracing your family surname back through centuries or connecting with DNA matches across continents, our Genealogical DNA Project Membership Form makes it simple to join a community of genetic genealogy enthusiasts.

This template is designed specifically for DNA surname projects, haplogroup studies, geographic population groups, and genetic genealogy societies. It captures everything from testing company details and kit numbers to surname variants and ancestral origins—helping project administrators build robust databases while making onboarding seamless for new members.

Perfect for genealogical societies, surname projects, and DNA research groups

Genealogical DNA projects bring together individuals who share common ancestry, surnames, or geographic origins. This form template helps coordinators gather the essential details needed to match participants, identify lineages, and coordinate research efforts. Whether you're running a Scottish clan project, a regional heritage study, or a global surname initiative, this template provides the structure to collect member information, DNA test details, research interests, and collaboration preferences in one place.

Streamline membership with payments, communications, and collaboration

Beyond basic registration, this form includes annual subscription payments via Stripe or PayPal, optional conference registration, and access preferences for genetic genealogy tools and databases. Conditional fields reveal only the information relevant to each member's choices, keeping the experience clean and focused.

Once submitted, you can use Stepper (stepper.io) to automate your member onboarding workflow—send welcome emails with login credentials, add members to your project database or CRM, grant access to private research groups, and schedule follow-up reminders for DNA upload deadlines. You can also trigger different workflows based on membership tier or research focus, ensuring every member gets the right resources from day one.
