About us
Specific:
1) Determine whether these surnames were formed only from related people, or whether they were a group of unrelated families that took the name when surnames were adopted (ca. 1300 AD). This is a locative surname and appears to have been formed at one specific place and time.
2) Determine whether the group of surnames yet to be tested (Chappelhow, Chapelhow, Chapplow, Chapelow and Chappellow are related to the Chappelow, Chaplow and Chapleo surnames that have already been tested in this study. Genealogical YDNA testing is probably the only way to bridge the time gap between the formation of surnames and the beginning of usable records, the years from about 1300 to 1540. There were 2 or 3 groups of this family that may have separated during this time period.
3) Include a member of each family line in our project. There are over a dozen family trees that have not been included yet.
4) Determine the genetics of each surviving lineage of the first Australian immigrant, John Chappelow. He had six married sons and most lines are active today.
