DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Emmet 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 Emmet:
Ainsworth-501 and Ainsworth-497 appear to represent the same person because: These were created as brothers, probably because bad indexing of a 1905 Wisconsin census record made Ainsworth-497 appear to be 15 years old in 1905 when he was actually 15 months old. These are clearly the same person.
