DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Martha 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 Martha:
Howard-5038 and Howard-4685 appear to represent the same person because: these are the same person and should be linked so that the parents and children are all linked.
