Within each major SHANNON family group, find and encourage 2 SHANNON males to represent that group by DNA testing 4. To provide an on-going and growing resource for all Shannon researchers. 5. To enlarge our SHANNON DNA database. 6. To seek out and encourage SHANNONs from other countries to participate with us thus possibly allowing integration of lost lines.
