DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Gerretje 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 Gerretje:
Schermerhorn-332 and Schermerhorn-38 are the same person. I noted earlier that they are born the same year (but profiles have slightly different dates -- one could be baptism and the other one could be birth) and they both married a man named Gerrit Heermans. I delayed proposing a merge, but after some research I'm sure they are the same person, so I'm completing a merge.
