The goals of the Escott surname project will be to:

1. Collect, document, and extend research into the variant spellings of the surnames Escott including pedigrees to find common ancestors.
2. Help researchers find related families so they can work together to trace heritage.
3. Identify the DNA of the ancestors families and compile the families and their lost branches into distinct lineages through DNA matches.
4. Provide research guidance for tracing all Escott ancestry.
