Classification: Query
Surnames: Mangum, Mangle, Mangles
Our search (regular research and DNA research) for the English origin of the Mangums has not yet been successful. Mangle is one of our origin theories because the first record of John Mangum in the Virginia Colony (1692) shows him as John Mangle. I am offering any male with the Mangle(s) surname, either English or a known English heritage in the male Mangle line, a free DNA test to see if there are any genealogical relationship to our U.S. Mangums. [There should not be any know lineage breaks in the line, like adoption, etc.] The test kit, sent by mail, requires only a painless cheek scraping (no needles) taking about 5 minutes in your home. There are no costs whatsoever to you.
