DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Grace by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Grace:
Phillips-14152 and Holloway-10 appear to represent the same person because: There was no Hannah Phillips. Her mother Grace (Unknown) (Holloway) m. Phillips but Hannah was the daughter of William Holloway. These profiles need to merge into Holloway-256 which has good information. To make this easier, I am removing John Phillips as their father.
Same scenario as with Hannah. There was no Grace Phillips. Her mother Grace (Unknown) (Holloway) m. Phillips but Hannah was the daughter of William Holloway. These profiles need to merge into Holloway-10 which has good information. To make this easier, I am removing John Phillips as their father.
Halloway-67 and Holloway-10 appear to represent the same person because: Already has a profile (the "Halloway" spelling is already added as an alternate spelling)
