About the Project
The Love Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Love name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Love name.
As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Love's), by time period (18th Century Love's), or by topic (Love DNA, Love Occupations, Love Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.
Also see the related surnames and surname variants.

If you look at Leonard Francis Love, you will see the family has about 12 children. One of them, Edgar Brown Love, his his direct ancestor. He has been told that Edgar was Indian, Cherokee I think. I have not been able to find anything to support this. The family appears to have migrated from Kentucky/Maryland.
I was thinking about setting up a G2G request but wanted to start here to learn more about the Love ancestry.
Thanks. Steve.
I'm an administrator on the FamilyTreeDNA Love DNA project. We have over 300 members, but not all have trees. There are several with Maryland earliest known Love ancestors. We also have one tester with haplogroup Q-M242, which is upstream of a common Native American haplogroup (Q-M3). If you're communicating with a male Love who hasn't done yDNA testing, that would be one route (though some Native Americans share a haplogroup common to many Europeans, so it might not be definitive).
It might prove useful to add his autosomal test, if available, to the FamilyTreeDNA database and join the Love project. https://www.familytreedna.com/autosomal-transfer. Use the Group Projects link to search for and join the Love project. Besides potentially having cousins with relevant knowledge, Love DNA researchers there may be able to suggest strategies.
