DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Clement or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Clement:
I noticed that you had edited a BATEMAN profile, and your surname was familiar to me so I did some quick look ups.
We are actually related through all four of your grandparents who connect with either my maternal or paternal sides.
Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.
Hi, Clement, I see you added DNA confirmed status to a number of Acadians. This relationship status requires documentation. There should be a statement on each profile that outlines the connection. You can find the instructions on how to provide it here:
Soon these profiles without the confirmation statement will have a Suggestion to add it. If it's not added shortly, then the relationships will be changed to confident, if there are other sources that qualify for confident (such as a baptismal record, marriage record with the parents, or a census, or other original document, etc).
