The purpose of the Hatfield DNA Project is to create a database which will enable us to identify the various families bearing the Hatfield, etc. surname. The results may make it possible to tell which families are connected in the male line, and as the database grows, to differentiate between branches within each family. While not a substitute for traditional genealogy, genetic testing can often lead the way to getting past "brick walls" by suggesting a direction for the paper research to take. Though DNA results alone cannot prove the paper trails, they can help to back up that research, and a negative results can certainly disprove many incorrect assumptions.
