The Harlan Family in America is a non-profit association formed in 1987 to perpetuate and promote the Harlan family heritage and genealogy. Most Harlans/ Harlands/ Harlins alive today are direct descendants of George or Michael Harland who emigrated from England and Ireland or from Thomas Harland who remained in Ireland. The family genealogy is documented in “The History and Genealogy of the Harlan Family” by Alpheus Harlan. Originally published in 1914, the book has been reprinted and is currently available through the Harlan Store on this web site. for more click on the introduction
