DNA

Wikitree autosomal DNA confirmation rules checklist

MATERNAL confirmation for Elizabeth Taylor is by DNA triangulation between GS. AM, and JSL Sr at MH, all descendants of MRCA William Poe and Elizabeth Bray. They share a 9.5 cM segment on Chromosome 1. Their descendancy from the MRCA is:

  • GailS<-WeldonS<-Carrie May Jackson/Conner<-Martha Eliza Bower<-Elizabeth Taylor<-Lydia Poe<-WilliamP+Eliz. Bray (5C1R)
  • JSL Sr.<-Mont Warden L<-JethroWilson L<-Ambrose Parks L<-Betsey Poe<-Mathias P<-WilliamP+Eliz. Bray (5C)
  • AM<-Marjorie Ellen Rittenhouse<-Ida Florence Moak<-Wilmer Scott M<-Susanna Bowers<-Elizabeth Taylor<-Lydia P<-WilliamP+Eliz. Bray (5C1R)

Further showing this tree is well biologically justified:

  • One of Martha's parents, William or Elizabeth Bower, is confimed via autosomal DNA triangulation between descendant 3C and 3C1R cousins from this couple.
  • The testing analysis was done at the MH site, to which cousin WS uploaded his 23&Me DNA data.
  • The MH cousins are AM, JL, TL. All four cousins triangulate on a 31.5 cM segment of chromosome 17.
  • MRCA identification is via two connecting trees for WS and AM:
    • WS <- James Smith <- Carrie May Jackson <- Martha Eliza Bower <- [[William J. Bower + Wife 1] -> Susanna Azubah Moak -> Wilmer Scott Moak -> Ida Florence Moak -> Marjorie Ellen Rittenhouse -> AM[1].

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Martha 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 Martha:

For your DNA confirmation statement: Because the matching test takers are more distantly related than third cousin, you will need to use triangulation. See this part of the DNA confirmation instructions:

I've changed the 'confirmed with DNA' entry to 'confident'. Please add the correct documentation before changing it back to 'confirmed with DNA'. Thanks!
