We hope to achieve the following goals:

To determine possible relationships between the known OAKLEY lines in the United States.

To determine possible relationships between other OAKLEY lines of English descent (including those in the British Isles and other countries).

To assist OAKLEYS not sure of their lineage to determine which of these broad groups they might fit into.

To search for one male OAKLEY from each proven OAKLEY line to volunteer for the Y-DNA test.
