DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Nancy 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 Nancy:
Yager-909 and Yager-92 appear to represent the same person because: Found this orphan, and when I cleaned her up and went to look for her father - there she was again! Please merge. thank you! (There is also a duplication of her sister Catherine and after I clean her up I will request that merge as well.)
Yager-92 and Yager-118 appear to represent the same person because: Yager 118 needs to merge into the lowest # profile which is 92. There were other merges proposed but they weren't into the lowest # so I cancelled them and now are correct.
