DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Jim by comparing test results with other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA test-takers in his direct paternal line.
Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
McCormick-1741 and McCormack-417 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate; surname spelled numerous ways in records; same given names; same parents. Jennifer just keep the McCormick spelling, but please merge these. Thx! Cuzzin Lisa
McCormack-417 and McCormick-1741 are not ready to be merged because: No sources for porposed merge, so no way to tell for certain if they are the same person or not. Setting as unmerged until documentation is added.
