DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Johann Jacob 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 Johann Jacob:
Frey-2652 and Frey-149 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, exact same spouse on both profiles, similar birth info. similar death info
Thank you for reviewing, Teresa (WikiTree Arborist)
Frey-1412 and Frey-149 appear to represent the same person because: see previous merges. You might want to check if people already exist when you are creating new profiles. There are series of these merges now pending.
Frey-636 and Frey-149 appear to represent the same person because: I suspect that since this is near the same birth year, near the same death year, the same parents, the same spouse, that these are probably the same person. They were both auto-imported so mistakes would be expected.
