DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Johann 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 Johann:
Conatser-7 and Knortzer-4 appear to represent the same person because: Same wife, same birth and death years, same children. The last name difference is due to anglicization of german Knortzer to Conatser. Please merge.
