DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth:
Steele-2410 and Steele-1396 appear to represent the same person because: Birth/death dates and general places match. Parents match. Both appear to have married a Bowman. Order of first and middle name may need resolving, but if there's sources for both, that can be dealt with in notes.
