Earle Male YDNA Tests Needed

Y-DNA can help determine which Earle lines are related and how. This can be huge in determining relationships between the various Earle lines.

English Earle Lines

Earle family geneaologists and researchers have long wondered if all of the Earle family in England stem from the same original source. Was there one orginal family from which all the other lines began? Some have thought that the Northern England Earle families (Yorkshire) are not related to the Southern England (Somerset) Earle families. We need Y-DNA tests from as many Earle/Erle/Earl surname men as we can. Please consider getting tested to help all of us know how we are related.

Y-DNA testing will help determine the relationship between

American Edward Earle Line

Several Male Y-DNA tests have been completed with known decendents of Edward Earle Sr. (1628-1711)) of Secaucus New Jersey.

The broad Y-DNA Haplogroup for the Edward Earle line of New Jersey has been established as R1a and specifically a unique identifying marker of L664 (DSY388=10).

American Ralph Earle Line

We are looking for Earle males with a known direct lineage to Ralph Earle (1606-bef.1678) of Rhode Island / Massachusetts who have either already taken a Y-DNA test or would like to take one.

We know of one known Ralph Earle decedent who has take a YDNA test and he is in the major haplogroup of R1b. There are several others who are believed to be decended from Ralph Earle who are also in the R1b haplogrop.

This means that Ralph Earle and Edward Earle were not biologically related.

We are now looking for additional males with a known direct lineage to Ralph Earle of Rhode Island/Massachusetts https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Earle-82 who have already taken a Y-DNA test or would like to take one. This is NOT an Autosomal DNA test like the ones from Ancestry or 23andme.
