DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Clara 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 Clara:
Clara's last name - realson - ralston - rawlston
one of these? I found Realson as her maiden name in the Dodd family ancestry book. But others have her name other ways.
Second - when did she die - before Daniel remarried - 1890 - or did they divorce and she move - possibly back to Pennsylvania?
