Rapparlie DNA Surname Project

RobertaEstes13 — 25 Jul 2008 2:48:30 GMT

I would like to invite you to join the Rapparlie (and similar or derivative surnames) DNA surname project. For those of you who don't know, the y chromosome is passed from father to son, along with the last name, with out any dna from the mother, allowing us to compare the dna of 2 men to see if they share a common ancestor.

This project's goal is to determine if the Rapalje and Rapparlie and other surnames are indeed related to each other, or not, and of the family back in Germany, France and Belgium is from one common ancestor, or multiples.

If you have questions, I'd be glad to answer. Please visit and join at www.familytreedna.com/public/rapparlie.

If anyone would like a copy of this information, email me your address and I will mail it to you for postage reimbursement, 60 cts., after you receive article.

Joris Rapalje & Gaspard Coligne/Colet de Rapalje

Robert Shaw — 10 Oct 2006 7:34:58 GMT

There's a recently published article entitled "The fraudulent Coligny-Rapalje descent". In it John Blythe Dobson shows the errors in the discredited (yet persistent) idea that the immigrant to New Netherland, Joris Jansen Rapalje, was a descendent of a "Gaspard Coligne/Colet de Rapalje".

It is in vol. 2, number 1 of the Annals of Genealogical Research. The article is available at

Julia Rapalje, Newtown NY, m. Chas Buckley

Gail — 14 Oct 2003 7:34:20 GMT

Hello!! I am researching an ancestor of mine, Michael BUCKLEY....after writing to NYC Municipal Archives for the birth certificate of Michael BUCKLEY, I received a copy in the mail of a Birth Return from Oct 14, 1879 (which is a good sign since he was born in 1879 and I was quite sure in mid-October, though I wasn't certain of the exact date) On the birth return Michael's (I'm still certain this is MY ancestor) parents were listed as Charles H. BUCKLEY and Julia RAPALJE of Newtown. Charles would have been born about 1843, and Julia about 1841.

I was just wondering if anyone had any info about this pair that may help me link my ancestor to them. Also, out of curiosity, where does the name RAPALJE originate....and was the Long Island family Loyalists??

Thanks a Lot for the help!!
Gail :)

Rapalje/Roberson

MarciaMcCrary94 — 8 Apr 2005 3:53:48 GMT

I am searching for information about my 2nd great grandparents, Charles W. Roberson (1805-?) and Catherine Rappleye/Rapalje (1806NY-abt 1907). They were in Genesee Co NY for the 1840 census, and the birth of their daughter, Sarah E. Roberson, who married Francis Elliott Woodbury Bennett. Another child, William W. Roberson, married the sister of Francis - Caroline Trask Bennett. These four all were in Michigan.
I also have additional Roberson children for Catherine and Charles of Annie (married Arthur Hartman), Elmer, Julia, Elizabeth, and Nancy.
Charles W. Roberson also had a sister, Eliza, who married William Wooley. I know there were lots of Rapalje in the area, but have not been able to tie Catharine to any of them. Suggestions?

Or looking for Daniel's son Charles Edward (1845-1918) married to Alice Spaulding or Charles son Edward Palmer (1874-1907) married to Lena Strait. Cora Norton Rapelyea is Edward Palmer's daughter and married F. Slee Crocker in Elmira, NY. Cora is my grandmother. She and Slee Crocker had three children Edward, Margaret & John. Anyone?
