DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Michael by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA test-takers in his direct paternal line.
Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
Deitrick-33 and Dietrich-156 appear to represent the same person because: Everything is consistent. Dietrich is the spelling I found in the 1840 Census (earliest known record).
Deitrick-30 and Dietrich-156 appear to represent the same person because: Everything is consistent. Dietrich is the spelling that appears in the 1840 Census record (earliest record I've seen for him).
