The GOALS of the Tyler DNA Project are to:

1. Help researchers from common or related families work together to find their shared heritage. 
2. Identify how the participant's families are connected, both genetically and genealogically.
3. Identify and confirm genetic Lineages of ancestral families.
4. Identify the missing link in lineages.
5. Ultimately catalogue pedigrees and genetic connections of all of the known project families.
