DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with William by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with William:
Amos-3594 and Amos-264 aren't "same everything" because they have different fathers. They can't be merged if they have different fathers. William C. Amos should be disconnected from the wrong father, whichever one it is, and then the merge can proceed.
