There are numerous Rowland family trees without any known Y-DNA test-takers. Some of the more significant or interesting lines are listed here in the hopes that potential Y-DNA test-takers will come forward.

Descendant Trees

The following Rowland lines are documented on WikiTree but have no known Y-DNA test-takers (untested) among their descendants. If you are a male Rowland who has taken a Y-DNA test and believe you are a descendant of one of these lines, then please contact us about joining the Rowland Xref Project.

The following untested groups are listed by the largest quantity of descendants with WikiTree profiles. The earliest known male ancestor is listed (there is always a previous one). In many cases, there are multiple ones for a given geographical area. Until the various lines are Y-DNA tested, we do not know if they are in fact related or not.
