DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Nancy 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 Nancy:
McGLOTHIN-170 and McLAUGHIN-45 do not represent the same person because: The names are similar, Nancy McGlothin Wigington Reed is my ancestor, Nancy McLaughin Wigington Reed is not.
Humphrey E. Reed was the only child Nancy McGlothin Reed & George W Reed had, then she died when he was 2 years old and George William Reed then married Nancy McGlothin Wigington Reed. they had Peter, William & Elizabeth
McGlothin-159 and Wigington-9 appear to represent the same person because: Possibly a duplicate. AKA on McGlothin-159 is Wigington and both are married to George Reed-5166
A merger with Wigington-7 has been suggested, and is probably appropriate. However, there is too much inconsistent information in the two profiles to proceed with this merger until cleared up a bit - particularly with children. Please go to the biography of her husband (Reidt-4) for family comparison.
A merger with Wigington-13 has been suggested, and is probably appropriate. However, there is too much inconsistent information in the two profiles to proceed with this merger until cleared up a bit - particularly with children. Please go to the biography of her husband for family comparison.
At this time I don't know why I have McLanghlin in her name - this may have been the suggested name of George's first wife, or it might have been her mother's surname.
