DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Comfort 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 Comfort:
Deming-70 and Deming-69 appear to represent the same person because: It's fairly obvious that Deming-70 was a mistake, he was connected badly. Comfort in this case is female, please merge thank you.
I believe the marriage attached is incorrect. There is nothing in the records to indicate whom Hannah married. A Comfort Deming married Nathaniel Beckley. Deming-70 and Hannah Beckley should be detached and Comfort merged with Deming-69. Objections?
