I am trying to get one of my brothers to test for Y-DNA for my paternal haplogroup with the Hanlon surname. So far I haven't been able to interest any of them to take the test so I figure that I will have to come up with purchasing the test, collecting their DNA and sending it off. Oh, the troubles the oldest sister in a family with 3 younger brothers can have!! There is a Hanley (with variations) surname group through Family Tree DNA that I would be interested in joining as soon as I can get my brothers' DNA sample sent off. I have found that my great-grandfather, Marcus A. Hanlon, was born in April 1841 in Ballyduff, County Offaly. His father, John Norman Hanlon was born in 1809 in the same county according to his death certificate from 1876. So I have a bit of a lead there. I have lots of maternal cousins to test the maternal Y-DNA but as I am the only one considered the family historian, don't think it is as important to them as it is to me.
