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:
For her parents' marriage, her birth and siblings' births, if you want another free source: Edgar H. Reed, "Marriages, Births and Deaths at Taunton" NEHGR Vol. 17(1863):232.
For her marriage: "marriages in Taunton" NEHGR Vol. 13(1859):254.
Unfortunately, Taunton's original VRs are under lock & key at FamilySearch, so can't pull the original record. Too bad.
