It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Catherine 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 Catherine:

Thanks, Sheila

Unknown-574271 and Neff-2814 do not represent the same person because: The only source of information on Unknown-574271 is a Find-a-Grave reference which provides only an unsourced notation to "typewritten notes," most of which are in dispute and/or have been refuted by the available evidence. I cannot agree to merge these individuals.

There are some very serious and complex flaws with this profile. As far as I can tell, this is not Catherine Neff - her profile is here. This is the wife of a Michael Stump who was born in Germany. Michael Stump who married Catherine Neff was the son of the 1709 Palatine immigrants and married her in 1739 in Pennsylvania. Research conducted in 1995 goes over the details of how these errors originated - see David Armstrong's Michael Stump and Catherine Neff of West Virginia.

I'm trying to clean these up to ensure that Michael who married Catherine Neff is NOT the Michael who came from Germany. I think the problem here is that too many merges have occurred that were not the same person.

posted on Neff-2759 (merged) by Brian Stump
I agree, in general, with your statement, Brian, but I believe the issue is Michael Stump, not Catherine Neff. This Catherine Neff (Neff-2759), whom I added to WikiTree some ten years ago within an uploaded Gedcom, was intended to be the same Catherine Neff who married Michael Stump, son of the immigrant (Johann Georg Stumpff), in Tulpehocken in 1739, but appears as been connected to the old-thought "Hans Michael Stump."

I was in correspondence with a Neff descendant in the mid- to late 1990s who presented to me at the time the basic facts in the Armstrong paper you cite, and I am in agreement with its premise, and would not have intentionally (in 2010) connected her to "Hans Michael Stump." I cannot say, with any certainty as I just do not spend the time on WikiTree I thought at one time I might, whether I unintentionally made the marriage error to "Hans Michael Stump," or whether it was made sometime later.

posted on Neff-2759 (merged) by Jo Craddock
I also concur, and think Jo is correct. I was the one who put that "state of research" text in the Hans Michael biography after reading the Armstrong paper, but I didn't want to make the changes myself because it was such a tangle.

I haven't checked recently how many versions of Michael Stump there are out there. Between the constant reuse of the name in the family and at least one, maybe two others in the Philly area at the time, I suspect there are a mess of Michael Stump(f) entries on Wikitree that need to be sorted through as part of any fix.

Neff-1022 and Neff-3 appear to represent the same person because: While details are a bit scarce on Neff-1022, they appear to be the same person.
posted on Neff-3 (merged) by Craig Albrechtson
Neff-3 and UNKNOWN-48994 appear to represent the same person because: Maria Catherine is one of the names associated with Michael Stump's wife, but evidence seems fairly clear that it is actually Anna Catherine Neff. This "Unknown" wiki was an orphan I adopted, which uses the confused "Whitecotton Neff" name that I have seen is the result of confusion with a later Maria Catherine Whitecotton
posted on Neff-3 (merged) by Chris Cunningham
Stump-1145 and UNKNOWN-48994 are not ready to be merged because: This generation of Stumps currently has poor documentation for whom Catherine Stump is. It's not known yet whether Catherine Stump is "Maria Catherine Stump" or "Anna Catherine Stump nee Neff". Maria Neff is NOT, however, one of the name options, as Maria Catherine's maiden name is unknown. Leaving as an unmerged match for now, because this connection is clearly intended to be Catherine Stump, but the mixing of dates and names needs to be sorted and documented first.
