The aims of the project are:

- to help individuals connect with their Y-chromosome genetic cousins
- identify shared kinship between surnames on the Island
- explore the deeper Y-DNA origins of each surname represented on the island
- share genealogical and historical information

Note: the project is not focusing on results from mtDNA testing (maternal line) or Family Finder test results (autosomal DNA).
