DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Stephen 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 Stephen:
Ashby-420 and Ashby-175 appear to represent the same person because: They have the same parents. 1710 is correct birth date. He lived to adulthood, so would not have had a younger brother by the same name. See Ashby-1154 for full bio.
