Decendants Report
Wise Family Line

This line of Wise/Wyse family descendants begins with James Wise/Wyse (1813-1834), who was born and died in Ireland. Many of the descendants of this family emmigrated to the USA and many of them settled in the Orange County area of New York state.

In Ireland the name was spelled "Wyse" but the descendents coming to the US changed it to "Wise".

We don't have any information about this family prior to James Wise, his parents are currently unknown.

At the present time there are under 200 descendants shown on this tree but there are many more listed on my Ancestry.Com tree. This report shows two major lines of the tree that have a DNA connection.

 		There are currently two known descendants who have had their Autosomal DNA analysis done at Ancestry.com.

Many thanks to Mary Hertzog for much of her research on this line. Mary Hertzog and Mark Stickels have a DNA relationship via the Wise line.
