Project Background:
The origins of these surnames are of interest because they are often strong geographic associations, e.g in the 1800s: PEAVEY is much rarer in England than in the USA, PAVELY/PAVELEY is strongly associated with Essex/Herts (England), PEVERLEY/PEVERLY & PEVERELL is associated with Durham & Northumberland areas. There is evidence for name changes from PEVEREL to PEVERLY to PEAVEY etc. Many PEAVEYs in the USA claim descent from a Sir John PEVERLY/PEVEREL who was an early immigrant who died in 1631 in New England.


A second interest in these surnames is the frequent claims of descents from wealthy PEVERELL ancestors, with Royal connections, going back to the 11th Century and even possibly being descendants of William the Conquerer.


Project Goals:
The Peavey/Peverel/Pavely project is designed to establish the common ancestor(s) of a set of phonetically related surnames of the type: PEVEREL, PEAVEY, PEVERLEY and PAVELY. This will enable us to overcome brick walls in connecting different branches


Project News:
We are searching for any male-line descendants bearing these surnames, or close variants who are willing to participate in the project by giving a simple sample for analysis. Others can also participate either by locating volunteers for samples, or by contributing to the Project funding ( this can be done at this webpage:
http://www.familytreedna.com/contribution.html ).

DNA Test Results (Alleles) for Project Members

* Haplogroups in green have been confirmed by SNP testing. Haplogroups in red have been predicted by Family Tree DNA based on unambiguous results in the individual's personal page. This has been placed on this GAP page for your ease and convenience. Please note that for any predicted results we see no reason for ordering a SNP test to confirm the Haplogroup. if a – is in the HAPLO field then we feel that the comparative results are not clear and unambiguous and if the kit holder wants to know their SNP with 100% confidence they may consider ordering a SNP confirmation test.
