The Hawley Society was organized in 1923 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, by descendants of Joseph Hawley (1603-1690), believed to be one of the first Hawleys to settle in the new world. We exist to preserve the memory, records and history of the Hawley Family, and to promote friendly acquaintance and sociability among our members.

 

We were incorporated in Connecticut in 1927 and are a corporation managed by an Executive Committee who serve as volunteers. There are no employees on payroll. Membership dues help fund the ongoing operations. Two of our primary missions are continuing the search to find our English antecedents and to update and republish THE HAWLEY RECORD, 1890.

Hawley DNA Project

This is a Y-DNA study which is based on the male line DNA passed down from father to son. While we encourage ordering as many markers as you can afford, the 12-marker test is sufficient to determine how closely related you may be to others in the study.

A sample result of a 37 marker test.

The results will tell you if you are related to the other subjects in the study and in how many generations back you most likely share a common ancestor. For example, you and I may be shown to have a 90% probability of sharing a common MALE ancestor within four generations.

The results do not say, “Mr. Hawley, you are definitely descended from Joseph Hawley (1603-1690). That being so, if others in the study have proven their descent from Joseph through their research, and you are shown a high probability of sharing an ancestor within X generations, if X is less than 9 or 10, you are descended from Joseph.

The results are confidential, although we request that you authorize sharing your results with the Administrator. If you choose not to, your results cannot be compared with others in the study. The Society will not reveal individual results.

We want your DNA!
