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 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 Michael:
Noland 588 - In the book "Houses Virginians Have Loved," by Agnes Rothery, 1954, she mentions "Michael lived on a hill near Toll House Farm and bred Lipizzans, those extraordinary horses which are born brown or gray and take four to six years to turn white. There is a record that when Michael was dying and his family asked if there was anything he would like, he said yes, he would like to see his Lipizzan stallion." The family complied.
