Our goal is to explore the origins of the various Washburn lines and establish gateway ancestors of as many lines as possible. It is important that anyone submitting a test kit supply as much data as possible on their earliest known Washburn ancestor, and descendants down to their grandparents. This data will be kept confidential by the Group Administrator. When a test result shows a match with an existing member, both parties will be notified by the Group Administrator. Then the matching parties may exchange what ever data they want to.
