About the Project

The Lau Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Lau name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Lau name.

As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Lau's), by time period (18th Century Lau's), or by topic (Lau DNA, Lau Occupations, Lau Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

Also see the related surnames and surname variants.

Stephen Christian Law [Lau until my father]. Direct descendant from Johann Christian Lau (6G grandfather). I live within 10 miles of the original "Lau Tract" on the West Branch of the Codorus in York County PA. I am available for research in the Historical Society Library and the County Archives. BigY dna from me as a Lau data marker.

I am planning to add the profiles of my Lau/Laur pre 1700 ancestry from Aveyron/Guyenne in France and wanted to ask if there are any special considerations I should be aware of in regards to the Lau project?
