DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with William 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 William:
Malcolm-2075 and Malcolm-572 appear to represent the same person because: The birth and death dates are the same, as is the spouse. The difference in marriage date is because of Gregorian/Julian calendar problems. The difference in location names is caused by the introduction of new Maine counties, and by Maine's history as a part of Massachusetts until 1820.
