DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or 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 John:
Bryant-4039 and Bryant-3198 do not represent the same person because: They had different parents, lived in different countries, and were born decades apart.
Bryant-3225 and Bryant-3198 appear to represent the same person because: Unsourced, undated, unconnected John to be merged with sourced and connected John. So far siblings match all the other Bryant profiles with the same circumstances. Cheers, Elizabeth
Bryant-752 and Bryant-3225 are not ready to be merged because: John Bryant (Bryant-3225) seems to be a bit of an orphan entry, arrived at through an import. There are several John Bryants, all from the Bitton area, over a period of about 200 years. I'm fairly sure I can claim two as ancestors; and another seems to be an ancestor of an early settler in Massachusetts.
For identities before censuses I think it's wise to look for two-reference confirmation, especially on common names.
