Would descendants of William Yoder be willing to compare DNA?

Question

My ancestor, Charlotte Yoder, may be related to this family, beginning with Samuel Yoder and Julian Yoder, his wife. I would like to compare DNA with any descendants of William Yoder (as he has an established wife and descendants, while I don't even know if his sister Charlotte IS my ancestor).

Is this the right place to ask this question?

Answer 1

Did you test at one of the main sites such as Ancestry, 23andMe, MyHeritage or FamilyTreeDNA? If you did you could also look at Gedmatch- they have a way tl search for names in trees too. I consider Yoder somewhat not uncommon, especially in Pennsylvania. I was once in email contact with a Yoder family, though can't remember why as it is not one of my known ancestral surnames.

Thank you, Lincoln Lowery. I didn't realize that Gedmatch could search for names in trees! I will check that out!!

Only if they have trees there.

I am having trouble figuring out how to use the trees. I click on the tree, but there doesn't seem to be a way to isolate by surname...
