DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Abner 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 Abner:
Chastain-1818 and Chastain-597 appear to represent the same person because: they share similar vital statistics, the same parents, the same siblings and the same spouse, Rachel Cassie Barnes. The difference in death dates needs to be rectified.
