I have several lines documented back into the 1500s - DNA results would indicate that at least 5 possible instances where a common ancestor should exist, This gives us a direction to look. It also has shown that the solely English concept of the origin of the surname that is widely published is true for only one line which is also the only line that mixes the 'ler' and 'low' endings. DNa has also shown that the South African family is closely related to at least one large German line - we are looking for more males to test from some of the other lineages to determine if there could be connections with them. Since all the lines go back to the beginnings of records, we really need to be armed before we start the next level of searching. Since we already have a suspicious NPE on a very documented individual, I'm trying to find at least 2 or more males for each line - this is proving very difficult - a lot of lines daughtered out a hundred years ago. Over this last summer and fall, I was sent and pointed to online about 1500 German records - so far I have entered nearly 1000 fitting them into families where they belonged. THis has provided a chance to see a real density of individuals in a very small area of Germany. Now to find living descendents. Does any one know a good German genealogical forum where I could post for 'new' males? I'm hoping to be able to do so in about a month or so.
