DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Eliza by comparing test results with other carriers of her ancestors' 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 Eliza:
Wilson-25698 and Wilson-404 do not represent the same person because: They have the same birth day and last name but very different locations (Indiana vs Alabama) and different death dates. It may be coincidence that they have the same birth day. The birth date source for Wilson-25698 and Wilson-404 should be checked to see if someone assigned an incorrect date from a tree.
