It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Wolfgang 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 Wolfgang:

Newcomer-721 and Neukommet-14 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicates. Neukommet is the Swiss spelling that would have been used at birth, so that should be the final LNAB.

Does anyone know the source for all the middle names now given to the Newcomers? Old research on the Newcomers did not show middle names, and I've found no sources for them. They seem to be the maiden name of the mother. I wonder if this was simply someone's way of tracking all the same-named Newcomers, which then made its way into other family trees.

First 7 children listed: Daniel, Joel, John, Joshua, Nancy, Samuel, and Sarah. These are all common names in later Newcomer families. These persons have no further identifying information (dates, spouses). Wolfgang's oldest son, Henry, had children by these names. I am going remove them as children of Wolfgang and add them as children of Henry and Barbara Newcomer.

The journal of Christian Newcomer states that his parents, Wolfgang and Elizabeth (Weller) Newcomer, had 8 children: 3 sons and 5 daughters. Many of the names now showing as children of this couple are probably their grandchildren. Their only sons were Henry, Christian and Peter. Four of the daughters were probably Barbara Buckwalter, Elizabeth Neff, Magdalene Neff, and Anna Wittmer. (I have a very old note that Wolfgang named his living children in his will, but do not have a copy of the will itself.)

Newcomer-416 and Neukommet-14 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate. Should be merged into Neukommet as this is the original name before moving to the states where it was adapted Newcomer should be added as present name.

Newcomer-55 and Neukommet-14 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate. Wolfgang was born in Switzerland. I suggest that Neukommet is the correct LNAB Newcomer should be added as present name. The same should go for his brothers. Any children would be born Newcomer.
