More recent work in 2017 has identified the parents of George Soule through a high-quality Y-DNA match of Soule with families in Scotland and Australia.
Following up on research published by Louise Walsh Throop in 2009, the DNA study pointed to Soule's parents as Jan Sol and his wife Mayken Labis, who are identified by their marriage as Protestant refugees in London, England, in 1586 and by the baptisms of their children before 1600 in Haarlem, Holland.
Their eldest known son Johannes Sol is identified by his baptism in 1591, as well as by his permissions in both Haarlem and Leyden to marry in Leyden.
Johannes Sol, a printer in Leyden with one known publication, died suddenly, probably while helping William Brewster in the presswork for the Perth Assembly.
His apprentice, Edward Raban, apparently fled to Scotland in 1619 in order to avoid being apprehended by agents of the king of England.
It appears he was accompanied by the pregnant widow of his master and probably took with him the missing press of Brewster, as well as the telltale type and initials from Brewster; Raban also apparently took with him the Sol press and type.
Edward Raban in 1622 published a very veiled version of his master's shocking death, well hidden in a discussion of drunkenness and resultant whoredom.
It would appear all helpers in the press work and distribution of "Perth Assembly" took an oath of silence that was never breached, even after King James I died in 1625.
Some researchers have pointed to circumstantial evidence that George Soule's family may have had Sephardic (Converso) Jewish roots, due to "Sol/Soule" being a common Sephardic name and "Soule" (the version George used in his will) being a Basque province.
Soule's daughter-in-law, Rebecca Simonson, daughter of colonist Moses Simonson, may have had Jewish ancestry, and Soule's printing colleague, Edward "Raban was from a Jewish-descended family in Germany."

Philippe de Lannoy (1602-1681), who was also known as Philippe de La Noye and whose family name was anglicized to Delano,
was born in Leiden on December 7, 1602 of religious refugee parents Jan/Jean de Lano/de Lannoy (ca. 1570 Tourcoing, France-1604) and Mary/Marie Mahieu (ca. 1580 Lille, France-1650).
François Coek (Pilgrim Francis Cooke) appeared as a baptismal witness for him on 6 November or 6 December 1603 (New Style) at the Waloon Church, Leiden, Holland.
It is said that Philip was a passenger on the Speedwell which turned back and then came on the Fortune the second Pilgrim ship, which arrived in Massachusetts on November 9, 1621 ("Great Migration Begins", by Anderson).
