DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Margaret 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 Margaret:
Muttart-72 and Muttart-21 do not represent the same person because: They are probably the same people but there are important errors, to my mind, in #21. Because there are so many John Leards over time in PEI, the middle name “creek” is important to facts about her husband. The date of birth in Birth and death are also incorrect according to my research which includes family records.
