Research Notes

Note: Research notes should identify evidence needed to make profile Genealogically Defined

• Obtain Birth Evidence and Record
• Obtain Marriage Evidence and Record
• Obtain Evidence of Child's/Children's Birth
• Obtain Death Evidence and Record
• Obtain Burial Evidence

• auDNA testing between Jay Lynn Stills and Maynard Ivan Stills suggests a second cousin relationship. However Y-DNA testing does not match suggesting that William is not the ancestor of Maynard and thus not the father of Smith Alexander Stills. However, that leaves the possiblity that Nancy Tarton is the mother.

• The paper evidence suggests that Uriah Ricker is the father of Smith but DNA testing is needed to confirm.
