Excellent Resource!

Project members are submitting family Gedcom outlines (Family Trees), which are being uploaded to each members page.

More than half of the project members have this information listed on their individual project member page

This provides site visitors as well as project members, with information on ancestor, locale and time lines.

For those project members who have not submitted them to me yet, PLEASE remember this is a crucial step in proven research.

 

 

 

Below is a table showing some of the known spelling variants found for our surname, listed under the Country/Area in which there have been found (in locale alphabetical order). If you know of any other spellings not included here, please send me an e-mail so I can add it to this list..

*The Menlie variation is courtesy of Carole Bridges, source is the Domesday Book

** The Irish variants are courtesy of John Manley, from:

The Surnames of Ireland, 6th Edition, by
Edward MacLysaght, Irish Academic Press,1991.

ohn's notes on the spellings: "Start with the listing for Manley, then cross reference to Monnelly. The last one (O'Maonghaile) is one my dad told once me about, from his family oral tradition, as a possible original or intermediate Gaelic form
of the (Irish branch cs) family name."

*** Scottish variants courtesy of David H J Schenck in the County of Surrey, England.

"I have searched the 1881 British Census (Scotland only). This shows a total all spelling variatons) of 3943 entries. Having checked through all of these I found the following nine variations in the spelling of the name ‘Manley'".

In addition to the above names for England and France, it has long been my supposition that the deMaule, Maule family and the deManley, Manley family of Manley, France and later Cheshire, England (circa 1100-1300s) may very well be one and the same family.

There are many historical documents that seem to indicate a possible "overlapping" of the lines, especially in the line of the DeManleys. Maud deManley married Iorwerth Goch ap Meredydd.

There is also a record for Maude deMaule who also married none other than ~ Iorwerth Goch ap Meredydd.

There are also military records in the archives of the UK giving the name of a deManley & a de Maule (same given name), at the same time, in the same place, fighting in the same campaign.

Please visit our family website @ "Cavaliers & Cossacks". This site has just about everything possible in one genealogy site and welcomes contributions from those interested.

Understanding DNA testing.

A basic primer on DNA testing and genealogy

 

How many markers and where to test?

We strongly encourage project members to test for 25(+) markers, to generate more accurate results.

For those earliest members of our project, we would love to see those who can, upgrade to the 25(+)

 

FamilyTreedNA provides group discounts for testing through projects conducted through them.

 

They provide comparisons to other project members and others in their database, Haplogroup results, as well as "RECENT ETHNIC ORIGINS (REO) Database of genetic test results".

 

It is not required that all individuals participate through FamilyTreedNA, but those submitting results from other facilities (Such as DNAHeritage) will take longer to have their results included in the project and they will not have the "RECENT ETHNIC ORIGINS (REO) Database of genetic test results".
