The primary goal of the Goddard DNA project is to augment genealogical research by testing the Y chromosome of males bearing some variant of the surname. yDNA patterns are passed from father to son, generally following the surname, and delineating the father's father's father's (direct paternal) line only. Women, lacking a Y chromosome, are not eligible to take this test, but may enlist male relatives. Some project members take additional tests which are outside the scope of the project, notably autosomal DNA analyses like Family Finder, 23andme or Ancestry. In many cases these results can be uploaded to the project. We don't publish those results, but are happy to answer questions and offer assistance when we can.
