DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Matthew 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 Matthew:
Matthew Kennedy is my 3rd Great-Grandfather, I have his birth record saying his birthdate is October 21, 1764. My line is Matthew > David > Matthew III > Leon > Ruth Kennedy is my mom.
Matthew is my 3rd gr-grandfather, through David W Kennedy> Alexander B Kennedy > John E. Kennedy. I've done genealogy for 40 + yrs and always looking for new cousins to exchange with. I am new to WikiTree though
Kennedy-15014 and Kennedy-8580 appear to represent the same person because: Matthew's information is a match, as well as son Citizen James. Please post or e-mail any questions on the match. Best,
Cousin Bruce
