Genetic Family Trees
So far most of our members with known British ancestry have had closely matching DNA results showing that they are from the same genetic family. By analysing the results they have been shown to be from two distinct branches as shown in the table below.
First English Steggall Family, about 1250 |
Common Male Ancestor born about 1550 |
(21 Steggall families found in the Suffolk Hearth Tax Records 1664) |

Notes
* The DNA results for Rob and Terry Steggle were reported in July 2007. On December 11, 2007 we were informed that written records had been found showing that Martin Steggle was the father of Michael Steggle was also the father of William Steggles.
All 4 of our American members tested have matching DNA results and share the same Genetic Family Tree shown below.

Added, January 28th 2008.
Feb 17th, we now have matching DNA results from a fifth American Stegall who also traces his lineage back to William Steggall.
