Some families may wish to organize around a husband and wife and their descendants. Others, like the [http://www.broughfamily.org/ Brough Family Organization] and [http://osmondgenetree.com/ Osmond Family Organization], may decide on a much larger agenda (see below).

In 2011, the [http://www.broughfamily.org/ Brough Family Organization] and [http://osmondgenetree.com/ Osmond Family Organization] successfully participated in and completed a [http://www.broughfamily.org/research_methods.html Surname Index and Relationship Project (SIRP).]

Surname Index and Relationship Project (SIRP) is a "structured extraction and research system used to identify individuals and combine them into family units". In 2011, SIRP was successfully used by two of the world's largest ancestral family organizations to identify and connect hundreds of individuals living in two countries.

In 2011, the [http://www.broughfamily.org Brough Family Organization ](BFO) and [http://osmondgenetree.com Osmond Family Organization ](OFO) used SIRP methodologies to compile&nbsp;databases of hundreds of "Brough" and "Osmond" surnamed individuals who had lived from 1800 to the early 1900's in New Zealand and in New South Wales, Australia. Subsequent analysis, screening and merging of these databases resulted in the rapid identification of numerous linked individuals and multiple family lineages.
