- to identify the unique Y-DNA profile of the different Redd lines in the British Isles, Europe, America, and everywhere else, and to find which lines are related,

- to help trace each different Redd line in Britain, America, Europe and elsewhere back as early as possible -- wherever the trail may lead -- and to trace each immigrant Redd line back through its immigrant ancestor to the old country,


- to enable Redd descendants to verify and confirm the accuracy of their work in tracing back to an alleged Redd ancestor through conventional paper-records research,

- to find Redd cousins in Britain, Europe, America, and elsewhere to exchange family information, and

- to help focus our traditional, records-based Redd research on the names, places and times most likely to be productive.
