About us

The purpose of this project is to use DNA evidence to help identify the various Stiff lines of descent. Through Y-DNA testing, we hope to eventually "cross the pond" and connect with distant Stiff cousins in the United Kingdom to learn more about the origins of the surname.

Project goals:
  • Assist members with understanding their DNA results
  • Group and analyze Y-SNP and Y-STR results
  • Investigate surname origins and migration paths
  • Identify common ancestors and paternal lineages
