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:
Carstairs-135 and Carstairs-131 appear to represent the same person because: These two are duplicate profiles. Family matches, locations match. Names are the same. Please approve and merge.
Carstairs-135 and Carstairs-131 do not represent the same person because: Bayne and Bean are, indeed, variations of the same name. But the data on which to merge these profiles is not sufficient.
