N2 - The compatibility of the Frobenius group T 13 with the canonical seesaw mechanism of neutrino mixing is examined. The standard model is extended minimally by introducing a family symmetry and three right-handed neutrinos. To fit experiments and place constraints on the possibilities, tribimaximal mixing is used as a guideline. The application of both a family symmetry group and the canonical seesaw mechanism naturally generates small neutrino masses. The various possibilities from combining these two models are listed. Enough constraints are produced to narrow down the parameters of the neutrino mass matrix to two. This is therefore a predictive model, where the physical neutrino masses and the allowed regions for neutrinoless double beta decay are suggested.
