SPROUL FAMILY HISTORY PROJECT

Research into the Sproul family (and all its name variations) has been going on for many generations. For the past 5 years, the project has been actively piecing together the collective family tree with the use of historical records and Y-DNA testing. This has allowed the tracing of many of the Sproul family lineages, primarily out of Ulster into North America, Australia and areas of the UK.

We are now at a stage where the research takes us back into Scotland and in particular Dunbartonshire and Renfrewshire with evidence pointing to the possibility that the Scottish family origins began with Walter Spreule, seneschal to Malcolm V, Earl of Lennox, (c. 1285AD)

Objective

The project is now trying to make contact with people across Scotland who have an interest in or link to the Sproul family. We are keen to reach as many distant relatives of the Sproul family as possible.

The Sproul Project has many online resources and reading materials to share with interested researchers, as well as many members in the project who regularly sponsor DNA testing.
