DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with David 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 David:
Howton-195 and Howton-29 appear to represent the same person because: Elizabeth Castleberry only married once, to David Howton Sr. Both entries represent that person.
