I have 3 different lines where DNA confirms a relationship but one or two of the generations are missing.
For instance, I am a direct descendant of Theophilus Norwood 1699 South Carolina. I can absolutely prove my Great grandfather was Daniel Norwood 1815. His father was William but I can't find proof.
Another instance, I am directly related to William Riley Stricklin who is confirmed by YDNA to be a direct male descendant of William Tapp Chief of the Wicocomico Indian Nation of Virginia. Somewhere along the line someone was adopted into the Stricklin family.
How do you handle this when YDNA confirms a relationship but you don't have the line of descendency?
