DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Robinson by comparing test results with other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Robinson:
Robinson is incorrect, Robert P. Ward is the correct name. He was my great grandfather. He married Mary Jane Cook. Their son Ora Lee Ward was my grandfather. The find a grave site is maintained by my cousin’s son Arthur Annis.
Ora Lee died in 1957, he had suffered a severe stroke years before and was bed-bound. I have a picture of him with me when I was a baby. My mother was holding me in his lap so he could see me.
