The current banner shows Alnwick Castle, in Northumberland - a county in the far north east of England, bordering Scotland. This region is home to a number of Appleby lines - and our DNA project has confirmed genetic connections between several of these, which also match lines in Canada, USA and Ireland.

Layer de la Haye is a small village to the south west of Colchester in Essex. You can read about its history here.
We have identified a number of Appleby lines that are strongly linked with Layer de la Haye and I am currently working on producing charts for each of them. Charts for the first four of these lines are already included on the website and I hope to add more when I discover more details.
There is a strong possibility that several of the lines actually link together, so if you have any more information about any of the families listed below (or indeed any other Essex Applebys) do please use the contact form to get in touch with me.
The Layer de la Haye families I am working on are (links will become active as the relevant page is loaded):
