Lytles and Littles and DNA testing
There is a Little DNA project at http://www.roperld.com/littlegenetics.htmhttp://www.roperld.com/littlegenetics.htm that is open to all males with the surname Little, Lytle, Lyttle, Klein, and similar spellings.
We recently had our first Lyttle join the project.He is Canadian and can trace his ancestors to northern Ireland in the 1700s and 1800s.
He has a close match with three Littles in the project whose respective ancestors were in Vermont, Delaware, and North Carolina in the 1700s.
Circumstancial evidence has pointed back to northern Ireland and Scotland as the origin of these Littles, though it is heartening to match with a Lyttle who has a paper trail back to the old world.
All Lytles are welcome to join the project.Please contact me directly if you would like more information on DNA testing.
