Origins of the Lug Surname
There are no clear, concise answers to why or how one of your Lug ancestors took on the surname. It may have been based on their occupation or a distinguising physical trait. Keep in mind that it was not unusual for a last name to be altered as an ancestor entered a new country.
Lug DNA Projects
DNA testing for genealogy continues to improve. If you had some of your Lug relatives tested several years ago, it may be worthwhile to have them retested. Likewise, as DNA testing companies have gathered more results and samples, you may be able to find more matches if you search again with your test results. If you're not sure how DNA testing could aid your Lug research, read "Utilizing DNA in Family History Research".
