DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Anna Maria 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 Anna Maria:
Frey-3115 and Frey-773 appear to represent the same person because: These two profiles appear the same EXCEPT that the Anna Maria Frey m. to Philipp Jacob Reiter (Reiter-251) is mentioned as still living in Lancaster Deed Z-37, dealing with title to his land, dated 24 Apr 1770, AFTER the date of death for Frey-3115 (7 September 1769 in Berks County, PA). I have seen many others suggest this date of death (i.e., trees on Ancestry), but I have never actually seen what the source is for the date. I suspect that date is for a different Anna Maria Frey who was never married to Philipp Jacob Reiter (Reiter-251) or that it's simply hearsay.
To restate, documentary evidence shows that Anna Maria m. Philipp Jacob Reiter on 27 Feb 1743 at Muddy Creek Lutheran. Records exist for several children of this marriage and living heirs are clearly stated in his probate documents. She was involved in several probate documents for her husband, who died intestate. These probate records mentioning her start with Misc Books 1763-323 dated Dec. 1, 1767; and then 1768-20 dated March 2, 1768; and end with Deed Z-37 clearing the land's title dated 24 Apr 1770, where she is still living and has remarried with the last name of Geibe. Please see the profile for Frey-3115 for access to these documents and transcriptions of them.
