The two participants have shared their lines of descent and these are now shown on: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gaoliver/OliverPaleBlueLines.html. Both have their earliest known ancestor living in Moore Co, NC. Many Oliver families lived in Moore Co, NC from 1790 onwards. Willis Oliver, Sr., born before 1760, was there as early as 1790. Alfred Oliver, was born about 1755, but does not appear until the 1830 census. Others include Willis Oliver, Jr., Richard Oliver, Aaron Oliver, William Oliver, James Oliver, Reuben Oliver., David Oliver, Moses Oliver. Were they all related and if so, how? Participation in the Oliver Y DNA project by descendants of these other men could help determine if they are related, at least.
