DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Theodosia 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 Theodosia:
Crim-104 and Crim-446 appear to represent the same person because: they are sisters with the same name and same parents and same (approximate) death date.
Crim-104 and Crim-239 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, same place of birth, same spouse and marriage date, same datge and place of death.
Crim-104 and Crimm-29 appear to represent the same person because: Same spouse, same date and place of death. Need to verify correct birth date, as there is a 10 year difference
