The Pearsall Family DNA – Surname Project

PEARSALL FAMILY DNA SURNAME PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT:

April 14, 2007 – YHRD.org recently updated their Y-DNA database (release 21). The database contains 51,253 Haplotypes in 447 populations (up 59 populations and several thousand haplotypes since the last update). A search of their updated database using Pearsall Haplogroup I1b1* markers revealed two matches worldwide. One match from the Birmingham, UK population (one of 97 samples) and another match from the Sweden population (one of 400 samples). There are about a dozen Pearsalls in the Birmingham area since it is the closest major city to the town of Pershall. However, this search turned-up the first genetic link to Sweden. Additionally, in looking at haplotype neighbors, we find very few one-step mutation matches; only one cluster of three that differs at DYS439 (12). These three matches are with London, UK, Macedonia, and USA [European American]. Other than that one neighboring haplotype (which corresponds with Lindsay), we find no other one-step haplotype matches indicating a very rare haplotype indeed. Similar searches conducted using the I1a and E3b haplotypes (links to those results also below).

Specific results below:

CONTINUING NEXT STEPS

1. Establish a reference for Pearsall in every state and country to verify the genealogy,

2. Establish a reference for other possibly related surnames, and

3. Establish a reference for earlier roots (e.g. England, Normandy, Norway, Sweden, and the Balkans).

Thanks to all participants, contributors, and researchers!
