DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Louis by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA test-takers in his direct paternal line.
Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
Allain-708 and Allain-46 appear to represent the same person because: Same dates. Removed Marguerite (Allain) Landry (abt.1751-) as daughter since she was born to Pierre Allain and Catherine Hébert
Cormier-935 and Allain-46 appear to represent the same person because: Same DOB, same father's first name, same mother's name, same wife... Could It be an error on LNAB. No source found for "Cormier"
Allain-276 and Allain-46 appear to represent the same person because: I am sorry for all the work I have caused for you, I am new here and will slow down my posts, Moe
