Welcome
The Cundiff surname in America for the most part traces back to Richard Cundiff died 1723/1724 in Virginia. Which appears to make Richard Cundiff the original Cundiff ancestor for the majority of the Cundiff line in America. This site is dedicated to documenting the genealogy of the Cundiff surname. This site will include sources and facts pertaining to Cundiffs and related lines, but will not include any information on living people. If you are a Cundiff Surname Researcher, you are welcome to register to create a login and tree. You may then share your research, family tree, stories, photographs, and more. The site is free as long as you include Cundiff's in your tree. Accuracy: We all spend many hours of work researching and documenting our ancestors. One of the things I have found is that our genealogy changes as we find more evidence. I have seen much of my earlier research change the shape of my genealogy. I have also seen old inaccurate research continued to get pickup by new individuals who did not know new information was available. Remember to occasionally review your other researchers information to see if you need to update your files. This site will aid Cundiff researchers with that. My intention is to extensively use sources to provide other researchers with the exact sources which led to the conclusions. If you find I missed or have something incorrect, Please let me know by using the suggest tab on the individual pages, but be prepared to also provide the source for the change. This way anyone can look up the original source and see why it was used. Good hunting, Gregory L. Roberts |

The objective of the Cundiff Surname Project is to shed light on three basic genealogy theories using Y DNA. 1. Identify that most of the male Cundiffs in America descend from Richard Cundiff, d. 1723 in Virginia. 2. Identify links to Cundiff ancestors in England and attempt to verify the belief that Richard Cundiff, d. 1723 in Virginia, was from Lancashire, England. 3. Prove that the Cundiffs are related to the Cunliffes of the various spellings or the Condits as found England. 4. Solve other Cundiff genealogy problems appropriate for the group.
