Welcome to the HILL DNA PROJECT, a scientific approach to finding our ancestors including Hill, Hills, and other variants of the name. Since 2002, our project has been one of the largest DNA surname support groups affiliated with Family Tree DNA. We have more than 1200 participants and have identified more than eighty distinct Hill lines. This website is purely an independent volunteer effort to assist participants who have joined the Hill DNA Group Project at Family Tree DNA.

Here is how it works. Simply go to Family Tree DNA (www.familytreedna.com) and order your test kit. We suggest ordering at least the 37 marker Y-DNA test. Most of our participants have been tested at the 67 marker level or higher. Family Tree DNA will send you your test kit. Follow the instructions and return your kit to Family Tree DNA. You will be given an account page at Family Tree DNA (make sure you join the Hill DNA GROUP through your account page). After a few weeks, your results will be reported to you, and if you have joined the Hill DNA group, your results will simultaneously be reported to us here at the HILL DNA PROJECT. We will group you at the FTDNA with your matched HILL group at the Family Tree DNA website.
