DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Margaret 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 Margaret:
Moore-42884 and Moore-23215 appear to represent the same person because: appear to be same person my profile entry has wrong date of death and I need to

Moore-3877 and Moore-23215 appear to represent the same person because: Wrong first name (Mary) but evidently the same as Margaret Moore since all records indicate Alexander Love was only married once.
It seems to me that some "Margarets" have been merged indiscriminately & I don't have enough PROVEN information to tell which pending merges might be (or not) valid.
