Smith DNA Project Community Forums

When you are registered and logged on to the Smith Official DNA Project on the http://www.smithsworldwide.org website, you have done so in order to work on your tree. You also have profile information such as your name, email, etc that you may want to change from time to time. At this present time to change a photo, you need to send to the admins and we will post for you but we do plan to add this as a feature in the future. Also, on the DNA side, you may want to add some additional information related to your DNA test or membership on the project. You can get to these editing screens from the front page of the site or from most menus within the site. Here’s where to look
