Project Background: | The Stidham (Steadham) Family DNA Study began back in the Fall of 2000. It was among the first Surname Projects conducted at Family Tree DNA, preceeded only by the Mumma Surname Project (Facts & Genes From Family Tree DNA, June 2, 2003, Volume 2, Issue 5). In 2004, the Stedman surname (all variations) was added to the project, as the Stidham and Stedman surnames had become interchangeable for many families throughout the years. | Family Tree DNA - Genealogy by Genetics, Ltd.

Project Background, Goals, Results and News are copyright of the specific Surname Project Project Goals: | The initial focus of the study was to determine which Stidhams (all spellings) were genetically descended from the Swedish immigrant to America in 1654, Timen Stiddem (ca. 1610-1686). Also, to see which Stidhams may have instead, descended from the Scottish immigrant, John Steedman (1715-1795), many of whom now spell their surname as Stidham, Stedham, or Steadham. The New England Stedmans (all spellings) were added to the project to determine if they may be related to the Scottish Steedmans. | Family Tree DNA - Genealogy by Genetics, Ltd.

Project Background, Goals, Results and News are copyright of the specific Surname Project Project Results: | The results thus far have proven that many of the Stidham participants do genetically descend from three of Timen's five sons. They have also shown that several do not (those descending from Samuel #166 Stidham). However, results have also proven that Samuel [166] Stidham was NOT a descendant of the Scot, John Steedman. In 2004, a monumental surprise result proved that one of the presumed "rock solid" descendants of John Steedman was actually a descendant of the Swede, Timen Stiddem instead. | Family Tree DNA - Genealogy by Genetics, Ltd.
