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:
Spencer-11742 and Spencer-11637 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, born same time in Ireland (one date is exact, one is approximate), both migrated to Canada, same husband and marriage (see bio), children overlap, both died after 1900.
