DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary 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 Mary:
There is significant reason to doubt whether or not this person ever existed, as no actual sources can be found to verify her as the mother of the 4 Patrick brothers who came to American. However, since there are plenty of reasons to believe they were actually brothers, she will serve as a placeholder until something can be found to prove that she was the mother, or until the name can be changed to match an actual source. Since the genealogist who gave us her name died in 1989, this is all we can do for now.
