Stidham Comments

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. Since then another similar result was discovered from someone from another George Steedman descendant. See kits 16431 and 142514.
