The goal of the Platt project is an attempt to sort out the various Platt lines, determine which are related, and, in some cases, learn the country of origin.

The descendant's oldest documented Platt ancestor information is required and will be published with the kit results. We hope to test as many Platt lines as possible.

The Hughes men all claim, through family lore, a relationship to John Joseph Hughes, first Archbishop of New York (1797-1864), thus their goal is to determine if there is such a relationship, and if so, which ones are related. Any Hughes males who believe they share this relationship are encouraged to join.
