1. To establish Y chromosome Ancestral Haplotypes for each of the BELL ancestors represented in this project.

2. To set up charts of the Y Chromosome DNA, including each DNA sample that has been submitted by the participants.

3. To establish if there are common ancestors for each of the surnames.

4. To determine the commonality, if any, between the participating surnames.

5. To determine any commonality in the origins of the surnames, using the first ancestral place of origin from each pedigree for each sample.

6. To provide a genetic signature (Ancestral Haplotype) for as many early immigrant colonial ancestors, as possible.

7. To place participants Y-DNA test results in the web pages for this project and an ancestral migration pattern for each under their coded designation.

8. To merge traditional and genetic genealogies, and to show DNA  changes in lineages.
