Welcome to DOR
Descendants Of Roger Terrill of Milford, Connecticut, a collaborative effort to gather and share information on the Roger and Abigail (Ufford) Terrill family through the generations, is now in Phase 2.
Our goals are still to accurately document and preserve Roger Terrill family history, and to continue the search for Roger’s origins. In phase 1, which began in May of 2009, we put up on this web site a large number of records pertaining to Roger and Abigail and their children. In phase 2, while continuing to add records for Roger and Abigail’s descendants, we will intensify the search for Roger’s origins in England.
Much has already been written about Roger’s origins, and much about his early life in New England, but most of this is undocumented and some is contradictory. DOR plans to start from a solid foundation, based on primary records, to see where we can go from there. It won’t be easy to sort everything out and build anew. We invite you to follow our efforts, or join us in the venture!
All for the best, . . . . . (posted 29 August 2009)

DOR Member Features When you join our web site (it’s free) you’ll see additional tabs along the top, and additional menus on the right. Presently, the additional tabs take you to our Research section (where you can read about current research projects), YDNA Roger (focussed on our genetic genealogical research), and DOR1 (which contains all the newsletters from NTT’s original Descendants of Roger Terrill society, from 1989 to 1995). The most useful additional menu on the right is the Member Menu, which you can use to leap to our online Library and to our Old Pictures section, which now contains pictures of tombstones too. Other member features are in the planning stage. And we notify all members (by email) of significant new developments.

FTDNA Terrell Surname Project
DOR-Terrill is a major participant in the Family Tree DNA Terrell Surname Project. Other Terrell lines are participating too. The aim of this project is to sort out all the “Terrell” lines throughout the world using yDNA genetic genealogy. DOR-Terrill, using this project, has already homed in on Roger’s yDNA, to 67 markers. We’re now working on identification of branches, and on connecting to Roger’s ancestors. Our YDNA Roger page presents all the details. If you don’t know if you’re a descendant of Roger, you can find out by getting tested through the Terrell Surname Project. If you’re not a descendant of Roger you might find out what Terrell line you actually belong to. The project is growing fast.
