The general objectives of the Lanham and Lannom project are to identify others who are related; prove or disprove theories regarding ancestors; solve “brick walls” in our collective research; and validate existing research.

Specific objectives include testing the hypothesis that Lanhams and Lannoms are related; determining which branch of the Lanham family the Lannom name came from if they are related; and establishing the country or countries of origin of Lanhams and Lannoms.

We are especially interested in getting DNA samples from Lanhams and Lannoms living outside the United States.
