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

My husband is a descendant of Henry Chiles. He and I work together on genealogy but I primarily work on Wiki Tree and Ancestry and he enters data in his Access program. You appear to be active on Wiki tree so do you have some issue with adding me to the trusted list? Being a rookie member I checked the Approving Requests page [1] which states, "Trusted List requests should be approved if the person is a family member". Thanks for your consideration. Beth

Chiles-48 and Chiles-351 appear to represent the same person because: Same Henry

Chiles-48 and Chiles-768 appear to represent the same person because: They are the same person. Bio mentions the same wife Mercy and Henry is definitely a descendant of John Chiles and the Webber who remarried.

There are 3 Henry Chiles; Henry Chiles is the earliest page, I think so the other 2 should be merged. Beth

They are the same person so what steps need to be taken to merge the two. Henry's ancestors are already entered and presently he cannot be connected to his parents. Perhaps I am missing something so let me know what the problem is and the proposed resolution. Thanks. Beth
