DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Joseph 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 Joseph:
Langton-561 and Lancton-2 appear to represent the same person because: I am entering the record for Joseph Langdon and yours came up and suggested a merge. I think they are the same person and the parents I have match up with yours. WIl you approve the merge? Thanks, Kathy Stepp
Langdon-103 and Lancton-2 appear to represent the same person because: These represent same person using name of spellings per different documents, as their wives are the same- while researching saw that there was already a Joseph Langdon as I was working to connect wife who is already connected to this Joseph-103. Can we merge these two?
Thank you, Lori
