Seeking Norfolk Y-DNA - PEELING / PEALING / PEEL / PEELE etc.
« on: Saturday 07 February 26 09:38 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I've been running a Y-DNA surname project for a long time and am struggling to get any Norfolk representation. Looking for male bearers of the surnames PEELING / PEALING / PEEL / PILE/PYLE etc. including known or suspected variants, with a bone fide Norfolk patrilineal pedigree.  You don't have to live in the region now but just have a reliable family tree (without known or suspected adoptions) along the purely paternal line.  I can also try to help you with your tree if needed.
Funding may be available.

Those who don't know their origins with much certainty are also encouraged to join, but I need two or more verified bearers of each name to establish the Y-DNA baseline(s) for the region.

NB If you have already tested with Ancestry, then that can provide some information on your Y-DNA but you will need to transfer your results to FTDNA and pay a modest 'unlock' fee for the analysis.

Historically, the PEELINGs seem to be concentrated between Fakenham and Dereham - e.g. Stanfield, Mileham, Great Ryburgh etc. but I mention this mostly for the benefit of people using search engines.

On a related note, I am participating in a campaign to drive the uptake of Y-DNA testing in the Fenlands.  I would particularly encourage male bearers of rare or unusual names to get Y-DNA tested. Thanks.
