DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with James 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 James:
Gaines-2758 and Gaines-70 appear to represent the same person because: they share similar vital statistics (the exact same death date), the same spouse, Mildred Bland Pollard, and the same son, Benjamin Pendleton Gaines.
Gaines-573 and Gaines-70 appear to represent the same person because: Gaines-573 and Gaines-70 have the same details for birth and death. The former has no relatives associated and appears to have been created by error from a GEDcom.
