About us
Most members so far are estimated to belong to haplogroup R1b, specifically R1b1a2. Haplogroup I1 is second most common.
For explanations of haplogroups: http://www.kerchner.com/haplogroups-ydna.htm
Project members are separated into four subgroups based on DNA results (A, B, C, D) on the Y-results page chart.
Subgrouping is by DNA haplotype results.
Participants are labelled by earliest known male Carlisle ancestor.

The prominent, infamous, or otherwise notable Carlisles:
From the political arena: John Griffin CARLISLE,
The Representative and Senator from Kentucky who also served as the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives
from 1883 to 1889 and as United States Secretary of the Treasury from 1893 to 1897. "Carlisle was born in what is now Kenton
County, Kentucky, and began his public life as a lawyer in Covington, Kentucky. In 1890, Carlisle was appointed to the
United States Senate.... When Grover Cleveland was re-elected to the Presidency in 1892, he chose Carlisle as his Secretary
of the Treasury. Carlisle's tenure as Secretary was marred by the Panic of 1893, a financial and economic disaster so severe
that it ended Carlisle's political career. In response to a run on the American gold supply, Carlisle felt forced to end
silver coinage. He moved to New York City, where he practiced law until his death."

Thomas CARLYLE (December 4, 1795 – February 5, 1881) "was a Scottish essayist and historian, whose work was hugely
influential during the Victorian era. He was born in Ecclefechan, Dumfries and Galloway, and was educated at Annan Academy.
.... His first major work, 'Sartor Resartus,....' was initially considered bizarre and incomprehensible, but had a limited
success in America, where it was admired by Ralph Waldo Emerson, influencing the development of New England
Transcendentalism. However, within Britain, Carlyle's success was assured by the publication of his two volume work 'The
French Revolution, A History' in 1837....Upon Carlyle's death on February 5, 1881 in London, it was made possible for his
remains to be interred in Westminster Abbey but his wish to be buried beside his parents in Ecclefechan was respected." --
From Wikipedia.com "Thomas Carlyle is best known as an writer but in fact was also a mathematician. His father, James
Carlyle, was a stonemason and his mother, Margaret Aitken, the daughter of a bankrupt Dumfriesshire farmer, was James' second
wife. Thomas was the eldest of their nine children." --from website: http://www-groups.dcs.st-

Note: The town of Carlyle, Illinois, was named for Thomas Carlyle. (And Lake Carlyle was then named for the town.) ---------
