DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Martha 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 Martha:
Regarding her nickname listed here as "Mary" - is it really? Is there a source? Or is it just confusion with her mother-in-law who was also a Belcher? (Mary Belcher Dillon)
Belcher-1553 and Belcher-26 appear to represent the same person because: These two ladies have the same father and the same name. Belcher-26 has the correct husband. Belcher-1553 will have to lose James P. But that's ok, we have a place for him! The dates and locations have to be worked out, 'cause nobody can agree exactly when what happened back then. But they are the same. The two sons of Belcher-1553, Christopher and Masten, belong with siblings under Belcher-26.
Belcher-1956 and Belcher-26 appear to represent the same person because: The FamilySearch reference in Belcher-1956 makes it clear that the profile is intended to be Belcher-26. The death date on Belcher-1956 is referenced in the text of Belcher-26 as an alternate. These two need to be put together.
Belcher-1558 and Belcher-273 appear to represent the same person because: The dates and names of these two profiles match; however, there is a discrepancy in the husband's name. Regardless, these do appear to be the same person.
