· Use DNA testing to confirm the lines of descent from William Haskell and Elinor Foule in the extensive genealogical database maintained by the Haskell Family Association.

· Identify the location within our family tree of the various STR mutations which have occurred since the time of William Haskell (1577-1630).  Such a detailed classification of DNA results may help to place some of our “Haskell orphans” in our Haskell family tree.

· Compare Haskell North American DNA tests with tests from Haskells in the United Kingdom and see if the Haskell line can be pushed back to the 12th or 13th century.
