DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary 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 Mary:
Byrd-460 and Byrd-34 appear to represent the same person because: These two appear to be duplicate profiles. Please explain why they should not be merged.
Bird-7938 and Byrd-460 appear to represent the same person because: same/similar dates, same father, same husband (multiple duplicate profiles) Per https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/145645504 the last name is spelled Byrd.
I was sent a link to FAG for the merge of Byrd-460 and Byrd-34 which only has WT Byrd-34 as a source., which states it only a memorial, non-cemetery listing. Cross-referencing non-sourced data does not make it any more factual.
Byrd-460 and Byrd-34 do not represent the same person because: Even tho the birthdate is the same, more research needs to be done. As 3 marriages? Once occuring when she was about 10? Death dates are too far apart. Locations are different.
