Our first goal is to establish proof that Hans Michael Finter and Hans Jerg Finter of Germany were close relatives. We also wanted to see if the various Fender lines in the USA were related.

Goal 2 is to test descendants of Andrew Fender born 1782 in North Carolina, died 1883 in Mercer Co IL. He had 17 kids attributed to him, 10 are male. This large line needs to be verified by testing.

Goal 3 is to find living relatives in Germany.

Goal 4 is to find female descendants of Christian Fender's wife or wives.
