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:
This note is to only keep the record straight as to this change. The child Thomas-22621 was removed from Clothier-38 by another user, I inadvertently added this child back to the incorrect mother (Clothier-529) instead of Clothier-38. The correction has been made and notated. Which will all be mute when the merge of the duplicate mother takes place. Merge is set: Clothier-529 into Clothier-38.
Hi, I am with the Thomas name study. I wondered if any of you have a copy of the book written by Carson and Hazlewood, cited in your sources. I have seen the reports on that book uploaded to Rootsweb (thanks so much Marcie!), but it would be useful for researchers of this family to know if there is a full copy of the research available. Thanks. Gillian
