DNA

• Maternal relationship is confirmed through Mitochondrial DNA test results on Family Tree DNA. Annette Fagnan, FTDNA kit #406832, and her maternal line cousin UNK (a direct matrilineal descendant of Helena Guidry), FTDNA kit #55041, have an Genetic Distance = 1 in HVR2 at C324T, thereby confirming their direct maternal lines back to their most-recent common ancestor who is Andree Guyon, the 9x great grandmother of Annette Fagnan and 11th great grandmother of UNK.
