About us
Genetic genealogy technology has recently been utilized to study this particular Clark line in greater detail. Based on strong matching of Y-DNA test results from three independent male Clarks having family trees based on traditional records, Benjamin Clarke b. abt. 1663, son of Emanuel Clarke, has been verified as a common ancestor for this Clark line in the United States. Thus, through use of Y-DNA, the family tree for this line has been biologically validated back to the first family member known to be born in North America. This validated Y-DNA signature for Emanuel's descendants will be pivotal as a tool for "crossing the pond" to identify the immigrant origins of this Clark line in England.
Future efforts for this project will focus on: 1. elucidating in greater detail all the branches and sub-branches of this Clark family in the USA, and 2. extending Y-DNA testing geographically to include male Clark(e)s in England and the United Kingdom in order to establish the immigrant origins of this family line
