About the Project
The Glenwright Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Glenwright 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 Glenwright 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 Glenwrights), by time period (18th Century Glenwrights), or by topic (Glenwright DNA, Glenwright Occupations, Glenwright 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.
The earliest records that we've unearthed coalesce into a small handful of families along the South Tyne valley in Northumberland, England. We believe all have modern-day descendants surnamed Glenwright descend from two of these families. As of this writing in February 2023, these pages are under construction and we will post updates as we have time available.
