Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
Benoit-1785 and Benoit-936 appear to represent the same person because: In the 1870 census, Andre and Emma are in Vermilion parish. Aurelia, Simeon and Mathilde are included on this census. Merger justification of Benoit-936 and Benoit-1785; and Mallet-387 and Mallet-928. Same spouse.
