WELCOME TO THE KIRKLAND ONE NAME STUDY!
The Kirkland Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Kirkland name, including variants Kirklin and Kirklen. The hope is that other researchers will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Kirkland//Kirklen/Kirklin name.
As a One-Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual team studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England, Scotland, Australia Kirkland's), by time period (18th Century Kirkland's), or by topic (Kirkland DNA, Kirkland Occupations, Kirkland 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. Note that there is a different One-Name-Study for the surname KIRTLAND here.

Teams / Research Pages
Membership
- Darlene Athey Hill - I am interested in the Kirklands that descend from brothers Richard Kirkland and Robert Kirkland. Their ancestry is unknown, but they have a large group of descendants that left Virginia for the southern colonies. There is a lot of inaccurate information on these lines, and I hope to be able to keep their pedigree on Wikitree accurate.
- Ashley Deley - interested in the US Southern Colonies Kirklands
- Roy Lamberton - Interested in Scottish Kirklands (Ayr & Renfrew) and their descendants in New York (aft 1825)
- Chrissy Locke - Interested in the descendants of Burrell W Kirkland (abt.1813-aft.1880) and heading up a team to research him and his descendants.
- Alan Runciman - My maternal Kirkland line traces back for 8 generations to the early 1700s in Forfarshire (redefined as Angus in local government reorganisation). Living in Ayr (Scotland), I head up the Scotland Kirklands team.
- Amy Swofford Warter - Interested in US Southern Colonies as well. Recently started adding in my mom's side, where I have now been able to link to Richard Kirkland
- Ronald L Kirkland - Most of my known ancestors spring from the US Southern Colonies; would love to go further back. Am currently working hard at correcting my earlier faulty or undocumented entries and adding biographies.
How to Help
- Work cooperatively together with other Kirkland profile managers to create the best Kirkland branch possible.
- Search out original rather than derivative documentation and add sources to Kirkland profiles.
- Write comprehensive, well-sourced biographies for Kirkland profiles.
- Check for duplicates and request merges.
- Add your Kirkland profiles to the study by adding the following line to their profile: [[Category: Kirkland Name Study]]
- Let others know about the study by adding this (see specialized ones if they are from Scotland or the U.S. Southern Colonies): : {{One Name Study |name=Kirkland}}
- If they are part of a team study (such as Scotland or US Southern Colonies), then you can add one of these:
- Scotland: {{One Name Study |name=Kirkland |category=Scotland, Kirkland Name Study}}
- US Southern Colonies: {{One Name Study |name=Kirkland |category=US Southern Colonies, Kirkland Name Study}}
- Add unconnected Kirkland profiles - Let's leave no Kirkland behind!
- Help complete sources for unsourced Kirkland profiles - Remember, sources help us make stronger connections.
- Adopt orphaned Kirkland profiles (those without profile managers) and add them to this study.
- If you are a male with the Kirkland surname or a variant and haven't already, please consider testing your yDNA. There is a Kirkland surname group at FTDNA: https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Kirkland-etc/default.aspx?section=yresults

Any help or guidance is much appreciated.
I have hit the same issue on my father's family line... too many men with the same name all born about the same time and in the same location. Any help or guidance is appreciated.
