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:
Shelby-368 and Shelby-184 appear to represent the same person because: Sandy's profile (638) appears to be the same as Rodney's profile (184) though Sandy has the children and Rodney the parents. Both are married to Adam Alexander, signer of the Mecklenburg Declaration. The two Adam Alexander profiles will need to be merged as well though one is Project Protected Profile and the other is not.
