Confirmed by yDNA, 67 Markers FamilyTreeDNA … it appears that our branch changed its surname in the early 1660s (Gouldman, Goulden) while maintaining a close relationship with Keelings for several generations to follow, into the early 1700s. I can identify a later English Keeling family from Hungerford, Berkshire, England as direct male-line kin — their own genealogy traces only to the early 1700s. Looking for the connection backwards.

American yDNA-tested male Keelings exist in at least five (5) non-related male lines, not related within last several thousands of years. yDNA branches: E-M35, J-M267, J-M304, R1b U106 and R1b R-P312.
