DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
Power-59 and Power-1130 appear to represent the same person because: Although there are discrepancies about birthplace and deathplace. THese two John Power Sr appear to be the same. DNA comparison of Mary Holloway offspring descendants and a John Power Jr descendant consistently match albeit weakly around 6-8 cM 100-300 SNP segment.
Power-806 and Power-59 appear to represent the same person because: Same dates and locations, same spouse. Also will be initiating a merge between duplicate daughters (Mary).
Power-960 and Power-59 appear to represent the same person because: All facts the same except death year. I suspect he did not live to 120 as in 1830 date.
