DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with James 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 James:
Buford-441 and Buford-69 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth dates, places. Both Captains. Same name. (Maybe Buford-69 shouldnt have the Daniel in there.) Both died in same place.
Buford-69 and Buford-233 appear to represent the same person because: Represents the same people. Also, there is no source for him ever being called James Daniel Buford that I am aware. Just James Buford.
