DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Richard by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's 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 Richard:
Can someone please provide a source for the father of this Richard. Jonas "Orum" Wood was known to have only two sons which were both mentioned in his will; Jonas jr., and John. I have never found mention of a Richard.
