DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Rebecca 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 Rebecca:
Peirce-302 and Pierce-2911 appear to represent the same person because: Same date and place of birth, same parents, no conflicting information. Slight difference in spelling (Peirce/Pierce) but still the same name.
