DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Samuel Arentsz 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 Samuel Arentsz:
Bradt-16 and Bratt-272 appear to represent the same person because: Same parents, same dates, same wife. There's an approved merge waiting in the queue for one of his children.
The earliest record I found for him (his second child's baptism) has "Bratt" as his last name, so that seems like the better choice for LNAB.
