I also have a William Williams who seems to be very illusive. He had two older siblings named William Williams who died before he was born. William was born in Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales, in 1825. He was present at the death of his mother Ann Morgan and his father David Williams, but after that I can't seem to find him. No marriage, no death. Of course there are a bizillion William Williams to sort through. I haven't seen to many posts on this digest of Williams from Wales. Which is kind of amazing seeing that is probably where the name originated. My Grt Grandfather Thomas, brother to the above Williams came to America around 1855, and lived in Utah. I haven't had a close match with DNA............but I am not giving up.
