Still Family Y-DNA Project- Background

Background

Our branch of the Still family has documented ancestry from Still surname English emigrants to America in the mid 1800's. We have further documented these Still emigrants back an additional two generations to common Still family ancestry from Yorkshire, England in the late 1700's. Our current DNA and historical research have also verified additional paternal Still surname ancestral lines in England as early as the 15th century. Recent demographic information from the UK Royal Mail surname archives show the Still family surname in 1881 was most frequent in the area surrounding Aberdeen, Scotland. Our Still family genealogical research continues in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia, the United States, and here within the Still Family Y-DNA project.
