To view this site properly and access the spreadsheets and family tree charts, you will need Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash Player installed on your computer - use the above links to download the latest FREE versions of these applications.

Note: William Appleby of Pennsylvania and his descendants are also part of this group.

If you believe you are also descended from any of the above families - do please get in touch and share details of the more recent generations (though we will not publish any details of living generations on this site.
 
With your help, I hope to add further family trees and resource data for this part of England to the website - please use the Contact Form to let me know if you would be prepared to contribute details of your own family trees and Birth, Marriage and Death data for inclusion on the site.

When I receive each tree (GEDCOM format is most straightforward, though I am happy to receive details as Descendancy reports or even hand drawn trees), I always go through them locating as many individuals as possible on the 1841-1911 censuses, as I am also producing spreadsheets showing Northern Applebys in all census years (in the same format as those already available to site members for London Applebys). I also check for Parish Records on the excellent Durham Records Online website as I am trying to build up BMD spreadsheets for Northern Applebys too, but if you have parish record data to contribute, that would also be very helpful!

DNA
Our most exciting results from the DNA programme have been for Northern Appleby lines, where we have been able to link together a number of the lines into one of two clear DNA groups, each of which is descended from a shared Appleby ancestor (who has yet to be identified!)

We still need to look for volunteers to represent other Appleby lines from Northumberland, Durham and Yorkshire. If you are a male Appleby and would like to volunteer to take a DNA test as part of this project, please use the contact form to discuss this.
