DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Thomas 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 Thomas:
I added Wynn as an alternate last name to keep that name associated with this entry. I firmly believe that Wynne is the correct LNAB but want to make sure that those who think of adding Wynn in the future will see this entry.
Wynn-238 and Wynne-1 appear to represent the same person because: These appear to be the same person with a different spelling of the last name. Wynne appears to be the preferred spelling.
