DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary 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 Mary:
Ruhlmann-2 and Ruhlmann-10 appear to represent the same person because: Same spouse, same father but very different birth dates. Seems unlikely that Jacob Ruhlmann had two daughters with the same names so many years apart.
