Appleby families in the 'New World'
It is highly likely that all Appleby families currently living in America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand had their origins in Great Britain. Depending on how long ago your ancestors left the old country for the New World, you may or may not know where they originally lived. We hope that you will be able to use DNA technology to establish a link with the members of your line who remained in England.
If you would like to submit your Appleby family tree for inclusion in this section, please use the contact form to discuss the best way of handling this.
As well as including all your New World family trees on this website, I should like to add details from passenger lists, so would also appreciate any information you are able to contribute towards a Migration Database.
