DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Wendell by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Wendell:
Stevens-7960 and Stevens-10277 appear to represent the same person because: I am told by my cousin Wendell Bryant Stevens went by only his middle name, Bryant. So it appears Bryant Stevens and Wendell Bryant Stevens are the same person but they are listed as siblings under my profile. I sent my cousins screenshot of the profile of my great-grandfather Edward Stevens and she told me the mistake.
