Our goals are expected to evolve as we learn more. Our initial goals are to determine whether:

1. William b. 1690 in Cornwall or John b. 1780 in South Carolina are related. We believe that all Trevathans in the U.S. descended from one of these two men; so if they are related, than all Trevathans in the U.S. are related.

2. Any individual Trevathan who has not been able to establish his Trevathan relationship by conventional search methods is related to the main Trevathan lines in the U.S.

3. Trevathans and Trevethans in the U.S. are related, and if so, about about how many generations back?

4. Trevathans in the U.S. are related to the Trevethans in Cornwall today?

5. Trevathans in the U.S. are related to the Trevathans in New Zealand?

6. Any Trevathan in Cornwall is related to the Trevathans in the U.S. or New Zealand?
