Maternal line mitochondrial DNA test-takers:
Warner Varner-1 and Werner-593 appear to represent the same person because: These profiles have the same parents. Wrner_Varner-1 has no descendants or spouse and no sources. Tradition in German families of the time was to use middle names as preferred name, thus I belive these are the same Adam. Only one Adam mentioned in his father's will.
PM, please change last name at birth to a single name like Werner or Warner and place the alternate spellings as "Othet Last Names" it cleans up the page in public view. Thanks
