Goal
To show relationships between families with the surname of Statler, Stetler, Stadler, Stotler or any other related spelling.
Conclusions to Date
40 kits have now have results. The latest is # 495971 a descendant of Jacob Stotler a member of Group 6. The results are compared for matching markers, two participants at a time. I consider him a match to the other Group 6 members. We could certainly use more Group 6 participants.
For purposes of this project a match of 25 out of 25 markers is perfect and 24 of 25 is very good. Even a match of 23 of 25 markers could be considered a match.
There is a pattern connecting Groups 2, 4 and 8 though we don’t have two participants per Group, I believe there is a connection between those Groups. Group 2 is one marker off Group 4, and Group 8 differs from Group 2 in two places. The results for Group 16 are three markers off the results of Group 2 and Group 8, and four off the results of Group 4. Even though not a clear match I believe that Group 16 has a male ancestor in common with Groups 2, 4 and 8. This indicates, since the name Stutler is not found in Europe, this family name was originally Stettler, which is a Swiss name. Since the second Group 16 participant did not show a closer match to Groups 2, 4 or 8, in my opinion the connection between the Groups would be in Europe.
Groups 6, 7, 9, 10 and 14 have been confirmed by at least two matching tests each. Each of those Groups has a distinct pattern.
The Group 17 results match 23 of 25 markers and are a probable match, but since the results are common they also match many other persons with different surnames. More participants would put the match on firmer footing. “Common results” are those which match people with many different surnames.
There are two matching results from Group 11 but the participants are close cousins so we can’t be sure were know the results for the entire Group. Now we have matching results from a Stadler male the Group 11 results are on firmer footing.
The rest of the kits do not match anyone else in our project, so all we can conclude so far is that these individuals are not related in the male line, until each Group is confirmed with a match it is not certain if their results represent their Group as a whole.
Requirements for a
complete study
Participation
Participants are needed for many Groups as only Groups 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 16 and 17 have been verified by two matching results.
Stadler/Stattler/Stettler participants from Europe or whose ancestors came to America in the 19th or 20th centuries are welcome to join.
When I started the Statler Project, the 12 marker test was the norm and the 24 marker test was the highest you could go.
Family Tree DNA no longer offers a Y chromosome test for less than 37 Markers unless you join a project.
If you wish to do more testing for your own use I would be happy to advise you.
You can sign up for the project and testing directly through the Family Tree DNA website:
http://www.ftdna.com/surname_join.aspx?code=Y53712&special=true
If you are a male with a Statler (Stadler, Stettler, Stetler, Stotler, Stutler, Stiteler, etc) surname and don’t know your Group, or are a descendant of a latter immigrant, or live outside the USA you are welcome to participate. If you don’t know your Group and are willing to participate I will help establish your Group.
Privacy: In addition to the privacy policy at Family Tree DNA, the identity of the participants of this project are not revealed unless they do so themselves.
Caution: There is a very small percentage, (about 1%) of men whose Y chromosome will not match others of their surname group. If this was to happen to you and you would be very upset, please don’t take the test. The reason could be something like an informal adoption six generations ago, but only you would know how you would feel. Update 7/22/07 since we have had 3 results that do not match their Group that 1% figure is too small, but the advice is the same.
New Autosomal Test
Recently Autosomal DNA tests have become available for less than $100. This test can be taken by men or women and reflects you inheritance from both parents. The test at Family Tree DNA is called Family Finder. Ancestry.com has essentially the same test. I tested at both companies in 2014. There is more information here.
The same caution should be taken as with the Y chromosome test. If you need not to know about the sexual indiscretions or misbehavior of your ancestors stay away from DNA testing.
Test Basics
Y-chromosome testing provides only information about an unbroken male line, a man, his father, grandfather and on back so it is very suited for surname studies. No health information is obtained by the test, nor is it possible to determine any physical characteristics with this test.
The test is made by collecting cells from the inside of the cheek with a small brush. The testing is handled by Family Tree DNA http://www.ftdna.com/
Meaning of the results: the numbers (Alleles) describe a pattern of repeats at a certain location (Locus) on the chromosome; these locations are given numbers (DYS#). By themselves the numbers (Alleles) don’t mean much; it is only when we compare the results of individuals, two at a time, that we get meaningful information. This process adds to conventional genealogical research it does not replace it.

Explanation of Shading: Scientists have broken down all Y chromosomes into Haplogroups. There have been most common values found for Haplogroup R1b. Most of the participants appear to be part of Haplogroup R1b (The most common European Group). Turquoise represents those numbers which match the most common values of R1b. Then since Groups 4 and 8 were close to a match I shaded their common values with purple. Then I shaded other matches. This helps me see differences and matches, I hope it helps others.
The Group 7 and 10 participants appear to be part of Haplogroup I1a another common European Haplogroup.
A few years ago the names of the Haplogroups changed to reflect the most recent common SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism). R1b is now R-M289 and I1a is now I-M253.
Red DYS Numbers: Family Tree DNA states that the alleles (markers) with the red labels mutate (change) more often on average than the other markers. In looking at the results so far, that doesn’t seem to be the case for these results. For instance the Group 2 person varies from the most common values of R1b on 3 “fast” mutating markers and 5 “slower” ones. It is believed that the original R1b “patriarch” had values very close to the most common values, and some his descendants do not show mutations and some have many.
