DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Joseph 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 Joseph:
Estes-2568 and Estes-2346 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, same wife, same dates apart from birth year. One or the other of 1796 and 1786 is wrong.
