Project started 10-30-2015.
10/30/2015: Y-DNA of two Eure males, both with roots in western Gates County, North Carolina have been tested. Their results do not match, so despite their ancestors being from the same vicinity, the test takers represent different Eure families. According to the donors, one descends from James (father of Uriah Eure [c1759-1837]), and the other from Henry (father of Dempsey Eure Jr. [c1815-between 1880-1893]).
1/26/2017: A third Eure male, also with roots in western Gates County has been tested. His results match that of one of the initial members. He descends from Benjamin Eure [c1780-c1847], and matches the aforementioned descendant of Uriah Eure.
3/31/3017: A fourth Eure male, with roots in western Gates County has been tested. Genealogy indicates that he descends from Capt. Charles Eure (b: bef 1745/1814-1815). He matches the representative of Uriah Eure's lineage, and the representative of Benjamin Eure's lineage. For the sake of simplification this haplogroup has been nicknamed "Ivar" in deference to the donors belonging to haplogroup I, which has a likely Scandinavian origin. The singleton Eure haplotype, from Dempsey Eure Jr.'s lineage, has been nicknamed "Ebre" in deference to it belonging to an Iberian haplogroup.
