Previous Y-DNA testing
The Hill surname DNA Project Group 35 - Joseph Hills (brother of Charles Hill) currently lists five individuals. None have done Y-SNP testing and none have done more than Y37 STR testing. FTDNA has predicted they fall under R1b-M269. NGS/WGS testing of the family would be able to further refine their haplogroup.
