DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Lydia 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 Lydia:
Moore-26069 and Moore-7633 appear to represent the same person because: this helps straighten out a lot of confusion between different Lydia Moore's who lived at the same time. This is the one who married John Wetherbee.
