DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Ira by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
Because men at the time who were LDS practiced polygamy and therefore had several wives didn't seem to be enough to prove a marriage. I added sources to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Elmer-380 and Leicht-38, but found no marriage records. It does appear she had children with Ira. .
Elmer-410 and Elmer-380 appear to represent the same person because: The dates are the same and the wives attached to each profile were married to the same man according to the practice of their religion at the time. He was LDS and practiced polygamy and therefore had several wives.
