DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Anton or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA.
Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
Anton Rea:
Family Tree DNA Y-DNA Test 700 markers, haplogroup J-FTA26937, FTDNA kit #47822
Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
Anton Rea:
Family Tree DNA mtDNA Test Full Sequence, haplogroup H2a2b, FTDNA kit #47822
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Anton:
