hartleyfamilyorguk pays tribute
to HARTLEY men and women who died in the two World Wars and in other major
conflicts over the past few centuries. The aim is that each of the dead
should be commemorated, by name and photo, a permanent e-headstone or
e-memorial; uniform, with no distinction of military or civil rank, race

The HARTLEY Surname - DNA
It's early days, but there could be TWO different surname lineages ...
The frontrunner is Haplotype R1b1, probably Britons named after the place-name, HARTLEY [HEORT-LEA]
In this instance, the origins of the surname
HARTLEY are of local or toponymic origin
that is, derived from the name of the place of residence of the initial
bearer of that line. That means the surname derives from the place-name
HARTLEY that is found in a number of English counties including Cumbria,
Lancashire, Northumberland, Staffordshire, Berkshire, Hampshire, Devon,
Dorset and Kent.
In other words, 'John' lived at 'Hartley' village, therefore he became 'John of Hartley', eventually 'John Hartley'. His family are not necessarily related to other HARTLEYs, not even one's in the same area.
None of the R1b1[c] results below are close enough a match to one another to indicate a common ancestor within the past 10 000 years. In other words, they bear the same family name, HARTLEY, but are 'unrelated' to one-another, so weren't descended from, say for instance, a 'John HEORT-LEA' who lived 5 000 years ago.

Our proposal is that the place-name 'HARTLEY' was derived from the Anglo-Saxon HEORT-LEA [or something very similar] brought into Britain by incoming tribes, most probably 5thC Saxons, Angles and Jutes. The name was certainly established in Britain before the Normans arrived in the 11thC and before most people adopted a surname.
Anglo-Saxons came from Germania; they comprised: Jutes, Angles, Frisians, Rugians, Saxons, Huns and Boructuari. The Anglo-Saxon tribes would have worshipped at the site of a Temple, Shrine or Well named after their Goddess, in our case, HEORTHA [HERTHA], the site being either here in Britain [possibly Kent] or in Saxony or Scandinavia [see 'Origins of the Name' page]
The 'HEORT-LEA' tribes would have named settlements in Britain after themselves. Today they are named HARTLEY.
Some of the Anglo-Saxons would have had
Haplotype Group I1 Y-DNA ... Old Germanic-Norse peoples
One HARTLEY test result shows Y-DNA belonging to the rare I1 DYS 19=16
Haplotype Group ... The I1 DYS19=16 families in England and Scotland likely
came from Scandinavia as part of the Anglo-Saxon invasions of the 5th
- 6th century, maybe earlier, or during Viking invasions beginning in
about 800 AD. The present-day location of DYS19=16 in Scandinavia is more
consistent with the historical location of Vikings than Angles, Saxons
and Jutes. The founder of DYS19=16 must have been lived after 10,000 BC,
when Scandinavia was finally free from the Ice Age. By evaluating the
diversity of 21 extended haplotypes with DYS19=16 through the use of average
squared difference calculations, it has been estimated that the common
paternal line ancestor of was born about 1,400 years ago, or around 600AD.
This sample size is small, but this relatively young age fits with a compact
geography and low frequency in the population. I1a is the most common
haplogroup in nearly all regions in Sweden. Within this haplogroup, the
regions did not show any deviation among themselves except for the I1
haplotypes found in Värmland. This region differed significantly from
two Swedish regions and both the Saami and Österbotten I1 lineages. No
other Swedish region differed from the Saami or the Österbotten samples.
Looking at the National
Geographic website on DNA results and the Atlas of the Human Journey,
there is confirmation of a movement of peoples with I1 Haplotype DNA [M253]
into the British Isles, Normandy and Scandinavia after the Great Ice Age.
The Haplotype is estimated to have first appeared about 15,000 - 20,000
years ago.
Before that, it is thought that more than 20,000 years ago the I1 lineage
came to North West Europe from the Middle East and North Africa
