The purpose of this project is to determine possible relationships between different family lines worldwide. With the use of Y-DNA tests we hope to discover which families have a common ancestor. This includes, but is not limited to the lines listed in this project. The project was established to create a growing database of Y-DNA profiles of male descendants to aid in genealogical research. Y-DNA analysis can assist in supporting or refuting the premise that two or more participants descend from a common ancestor. We wish: 1. To determine possibly relationships with others of the same surname, variant surname, or entirely different surname within the United States or beyond. 2. To determine descendants of early ROLL/RALL/etc. immigrants to America. 3. To assist those not sure of their lineage to determine which of these broad groups they might fit into based upon DNA results. 4. To compare and share data and historical family information that may help others connect to their common ancestor. Mangle (aka ROL/ROLL) and his wife, Antje were of the Netherlands. Their son, Jan Mangel(sen) (meaning "son of Mangel" according to Dutch naming pattern) became known as JAN/JOHN MANGLESE/MANGELSE ROLL by descendants. Jan Mangelse Roll was born bet. 1615-1635 in Noord Holland, Netherlands (Europe); immigrated to America and settled in New Amsterdam; married ca 1660 Beverwyck (now Albany), New Netherlands (now NY) to Tryntje "Catherine" Pieters(e) VAN WOGGELUM; & died Bef. 04 September 1705 New Amsterdam (New York). He was the father of these children: Antje "Ann" Janse ROLL; Mangel Janse ROLL; Peter Janse ROLL; Tryntje "Catherina" Janse ROLL; and Johannes Janse Mangelse ROLL. Some of the early descendants removed to New Jersey and others to Pennsylvania.
