DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary 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 Mary:
Andrews-5064 and Andrews-1176 appear to represent the same person because: These were an approved merge, but the merge was blocked because of the presence of an old unmerged match that got moved to Andrews-1176 when another of the profiles for this woman was merged into that profile.
Andrews-1625 and Andrews-1176 appear to represent the same person because: Same person. Discrepancy regarding town of death will need to be resolved (both towns are in Plymouth county).
