Harlan Genealogy

Genealogists are continually researching and publishing their findings on the internet. We can now trace our ancestral lines much further back in history. I don’t know about the accuracy of these sites but they are well prepared and presented.


Our Harlan Genealogy was first developed by Alpheus Harlan in the early 1900’s. Information about it can be found at harlanfamily.org. The Harlan genealogy had
begun with James HARLAND #1 who was born about 1625 in Bishoprick, Durham, England.

Our Harlan paternal line now goes four more generations back before we run out of information on our Harlan name line. Each blue highlighted text are links back to the on line genealogy.  

Most of the new information comes from ourfamilyhistories.org. We thank them for their work.

James Harlan  (Listed #1 in the Harlan Genealogy, this text from the Harlan Genealogy) was born about 1625 in Bishoprick, Durham, England. He died in England. He was buried in England. From "History and Genealogy of the Harlan Family" by Alpheus Harlan- "James Harland, Yeoman and member of the Episcopal Church, was b. about the year 1625 in the "Bishoprick, Nigh Durham, England," and is the earliest paternal ancestor known to the family in America bearing the name Harlan. He lived and d. an Englishman, and was bur. upon English soil, no one to-day knows where. Tradition says that the name of his father was William.  (The new info says he died on 17 Feb 1680 and is buried at Bishophrick, Bainbridge, Durham, England.

Wealthy people and nobles had more children than other people. Their children had more healthy children who survived, and so on. Only a few children could be rich nobles.  Eventually most of their descendants became average people. Most people alive today have these wealthy people in their genealogy.


And the Harlans had some famous ancestors as shown on the listing below.  We descend from famous Charlemagne and a number of other famous and infamous Kings, Queens, Viscounts, Earls, Counts and Barons. This line of descent jumps back and forth between men and women.


And that will buy you a cup of coffee if you have the coin. Still, it is fun to check it out.

Harlan's Descended From Charlemagne

We can now trace our ancestral lines much further back in history.  Our Harlan genealogy had begun with William Harland #1 b.1594, of Bishophrick, Bainbridge, Durham, England, d. 29 Jul 1651, Sunderland, Durham, England.  But genealogists continue to research and publish their findings on the internet. Our Harlan line now goes five more generations back before we run out of information on our Harlan name line.

But following other lines back gets us to famous people.  Wealthy people and nobles had more children than other people, and set them up in life. Their children had more healthy children who survived, and so on.  Eventually most people are connected to famous people.


So are the descendants of the Harlan, as shown on the listing below.  We descend from famous Charlemagne and a number of other famous and infamous Kings, Queens, Counts and Barons.

We should not get to uppity, however. The funny article below illustrates how all people of European descent are likely descended from Charlemagne.



Wow, do I ever have a lot of cousins.  According to Graham Coop, everyone in Europe today is descended from Charlemagne.  Which either means I’m special and so is everyone else, or we’re all just normal.  National Geographic wrote an article about the results of the Coop study in more easily readable verbiage, here.  The Coop team also wrote a nontechnical FAQ, here.
In 2002, Steven Olson wrote this verbiage in the Atlantic magazine about the work of statistician Joseph Chang:
The most recent common ancestor of every European today (except for recent immigrants to the Continent) was someone who lived in Europe in the surprisingly recent past—only about 600 years ago. In other words, all Europeans alive today have among their ancestors the same man or woman who lived around 1400. Before that date, according to Chang’s model, the number of ancestors common to all Europeans today increased, until, about a thousand years ago, a peculiar situation prevailed: 20 percent of the adult Europeans alive in 1000 would turn out to be the ancestors of no one living today (that is, they had no children or all their descendants eventually died childless); each of the remaining 80 percent would turn out to be a direct ancestor of every European living today.

Now, granted, Charlemagne was indeed prolific, siring 18 known children.  I guess I’m just lucky in that I descend from two known children, one who was the King of Italy and one who was the King of France.  I must tell you, all this king stuff sounds very surreal to me.
