DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Rebecca 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 Rebecca:
Nathaniel Merrill married Rebecca Unknown. Rebecca was Browne at her marriage in 1691 to John Badger. The Merrill Genealogy is the source of this error.
Rebecca wife of Nathaniel Merrill died Dec. 9th, 1689 (pg. 659 New bury Vital Records). This explains Nathaniel's 2nd marriage soon thereafter. BUT it also means it is a different Rebecca who married John Badger!
