The American Surnames
book by Elsdon C. Smith 1997 states 'The third most
important building in the village would be the mill, and family adjacent
thereto would be Mills, Mull, Milne or Trevelyn if British, and Desmoulins,
Mullins, or Moulins if French. Based on this statement and the results
received to date it appears there could have been many different unrelated
families living near a mill and that took the Mills surname.
Therefore, there could be many unrelated Mills family lines in the United
States.
Below are the test results received back so far. Some of the
participants have provided me authorization to
provide contact information, to contact them click on the kit number or the
researcher's name .
All of the participate have provided their pedigrees which includes their
earliest known ancestor. To view the participants' ancestry, click on the
earliest ancestor's name. Participants with pending results can be
view on this page Participants
with Results Pending
Participants have been placed in a group based on there
test results. Matching results and results that are just different by
one numbers (different number highlighted in
yellow) were placed in the same group.
Sometimes I put groups into subgroups (i.e. a, b, c) just to point out they
are not an exact match. If the participant has no
match or close match, they were not placed in a group.
Data can also be viewed on the
FamilyTreeDNA site at

If a participants results are not reflected below,
please check here to see if the results are in yet. FamilyTreeDNA
will automatically post all results to this page as soon as the results
are in. I only post results for those that have submitted their
pedigree to me. Note that FamilyTreeDNA does not post predicted Haplogroups on this site, only haplogroups that have been confirmed by
the SNP test.
