WELCOME TO THE FAMILY TREE OF JOSEPH F WILLIAMS, BETTER KNOWN AS "WILLIAMS/RILEY FAMILY TREE"

THIS TREE CONSISTS OF FOUR FAMILY GROUPS, RILEY, WHICH IS MY MOTHERS SIDE OF THE FAMILY, WILLIAMS, MY FATHER'S SIDE, ROCKETTE, MY WIFE'S FATHER'S SIDE, AND BOOKER, HER MOTHER'S SIDE OF HER FAMILY.

THIS TREE CONIST OF FOUR FAMILY GROUPS, RILEY, WHICH IS MY MOTHERS SIDE OF THE FAMILY, WILLIAMS, MY FATHER'S SIDE, ROCKETTE, MY WIFE'S FATHER'S SIDE, AND BOOKER, MY WIF'S MOTHER'S SIDE YOU WILL ALSO FIND SOME PICTURES AS WELL AS LINES OF OTHER FAMILIES. THESE ARE LISTED THROUGH MARRIAGE.

IN SEARCHING FOR MY FAMILY HERITAGE, I USED VARIOUS RESOURCES TO GET TO WHERE I AM AT THIS POINT, GOING FROM WHAT I REMEMBERED MY PARENTS TELLING ME TO READING LETTERS AND DOCUMENTS FOUND IN THE ATTIC. ALSO DOING RESEARCH AT THE MILWAUKEE PUBLIC LIBRARY, THE CHURCH OF THE LATTER DAY SAINTS. IT ALSO TOOK ME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN IN MADISON WISCONSIN, ALLEN PUBLIC LIBRARY IN FORT WAYNE IN., AND SALT LAKE CITY UTAH. I SEARCHED THROUGH CENSUS RECORDS, NEWSPAPERS OF THE PAST, PICTURES, ETC.. MY LATEST RESEARCH TOOK ME TO DNA TESTING. TAKING BOTH THE PATERNAL AND MATERNAL TESTING, I WAS ABLE TO TRACE MY HERITAGE BACK TO TWO CONTINENTS. ON THE PATERNAL SIDE, IS IRELAND, AND ON THE MATERNAL SIDE, IT IS THE TIKAR TRIBE IN CAMEROON AND THE YORUBA TRIBE IN NIGERIA, BOTH IN AFRICA.

RESEARCH IS NOT AN EASY JOB, IT TAKES TIME AND PATIENCE. MANY HOURS OF FRUSTRATIONS, BUT IN THE END, YOU WILL COME OUT WITH A WONDERFUL KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR FAMILY HISTORY.

THIS WEB PAGE WAS FORMED TO AIDE IN THE SEARCH OF OUR ANCESTORS. IT IS HOPED THAT SOME ONE BROWSING THROUGH THESE PAGES WILL FIND A CONNECTION AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO HELP EACH OTHER SEARCH OUR PAST.

GOOD LUCK, AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE WILLIAMS TREE.
