DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Shepherd by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's 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 Shepherd:
Anne Frost listed as child of Shepherd Frost; however, her date of birth of 1885 is well after the death of Shepherd and all three spouses. I did some limited research and found that Anne Frost may be the daughter of Samuel Bacon Frost. Can anyone verify or provide other information?
