DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Hannah 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 Hannah:
Marlene, The Mayflower Families "silver" book on the White family states that her maiden name is unknown. If you have a reliable, recent source that gives good proof of her name as Fletcher, please advise. If not, please change her LNAB to "Unknown."
