DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary 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 Mary:
Reynolds-13516 and Reynolds-6605 appear to represent the same person because: I'm not related to these profiles, but they appear to represent the same people. The fact that Reynolds-6605 cites valid sources suggests that it has more accurate info, where vitals differ.
Reynolds-6605 and Reynolds-12412 appear to represent the same person because: facts are very similar. I created Reynolds-12412 before I found the duplicate.
