DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Roland 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 Roland:
Hi. I believe this Roland Williams to be my fraternal grandfather's maternal grandfather. If this is the same person, Roland is buried in the Mahomet Cemetery in Mahomet, TX. Photos of his gravestone can be found on the cemetery's website and also in findagrave.com. The birth and death years are the same as listed here; but, the days and months are different. Birth: 11 Mar 1832; Death: 4 Mar 1928. Additionally, there is a photo of a "Roland Williams" with his brothers, Thomas and Jim, in the 1904 Mahomet Mens Choir. The photo appears it could be of a 72 year old Roland. I believe that photo can be accessed through the Mahomet Christian Church website.
