DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Maria 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 Maria:
There seem to be a couple of very solid sources that confirm that this Maria Magdalena Lang, wife of Johann Jacob Schneider (Schneider-10204), was the daughter of Lang-3202 and Dörr-915:
"Schneider, Johan Jacob, Ref(ormed), s(on) [of] Christian / Maria Magdalena Lang, daughter of Elias, Luth(eran) 12 November 1751 in her father's home."
- From "Old Goshenhoppen Lutheran Church 1751-1828 - marriages by Rev. Lucas Raus, Upper Salford Township, Montgomery County, Part 13, Roll 142-143."
In addition, she is mentioned in Elias Lang's 1764 will (included on his page): "...and to my three Daughters as Anna Mary, now the wife of John Martin Reyer, and Mary Magdalena, now the wife of Jacob Shneider..."
Should her parents not be changed from uncertain to certain?
I'm not finding sources for the wife of Schneider-10204 and parent of their children being the daughter of Elias and Anna Lang/Long; seems she is mixed up with their daughter Maria Magdalena Lang-3187 Transou? The marriages of these two men and their children are overlapping which appears to rule out one woman/two marriages.
