Hi Everyone, My names is Steve Medley, last year I had a 31 Marker test done along with a suspected extremely distant relative, Peter, who had a know variation of the family name, and to our great delight we had a match at 27 markers ( not too bad considering it was around 700 years since the last common ancestro,.We can trace our family tree back to the Early Norman era.) Our Haploroup is I2b1a, and as Peter had a larger numbers of markers done it indicates we are members of the M284 Subclade. We have our own DNA site with 30 members ( but only 5 sets of DNA) and I would happily welcome anyone who wished to join. It has been suggested that the John Medley that went to Maryland in 1635 was related to our branch of the family in Elland in Yorkshire , however sadly we are unable to find any member of that family with matching DNA. If anyone has any suggestions as to how we can further our research , or any ideas to further our cause it would be apprected. Regards Steve Medley
