DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Robert by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
Stewart-209 and Stewart-13973 are not ready to be merged because: There must be sources for this profile to see if there should be made corrections to "William Robert" and "Sarah Elizabeth Cartmill" in order to merge them or if they are just two different couples.
Stewart-13973 and Stewart-209 appear to represent the same person because: same wife and similar dates, no sources on -13973 to prove any of the differences in data.
