Triangulation Effort: Genetic descent through Nancy Curry to William Curry is NOT YET confirmed by a triangulated group, but here is a first step for such a triangulation: The first two people needed for triangulation have been found. Eula Burgess Blankenship GEDmatch F219921 and Janice (Morris) Kollitz GEDmatch A929896 share a 9.5 cM segment on chromosome 14 from 33,234,222 to 44,262,123. The most recent common ancestor (MRCA) is estimated by GEDmatch to be 5.8. WikiTree calculates that Eula and Janice are fourth cousins three times removed.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Nancy 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 Nancy:
This is either a duplicate or the wrong parents are attached. If she was the daughter of this couple, the maiden name would be Nickell per her father, so perhaps a "Curry" father should be checked out? This couple had a daughter named Nancy but she married a Cottle. I think this is the Nancy Curry who married John Wright and had daughter Sarah...her (Nancy's) parents were Margaret and James Curry. I will post a merge for you to check out. Hope this helps with your journey!
There are a ton of duplicated profile and intermixed siblings from this "branch" of our family line so I am posting this exact message on several of the sibling profiles hoping anyone who has time may help research and execute some merges and/or major changes on the extraneous profiles with no sources/connections. Thanks! Becky
