DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Simon 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 Simon:
There is currently an unmerged match between two Simon Millers. One of the things that should be resolved prior to the merge is whether Simon's wife can be identified as Ann Roberson Bell. I have not been able to find a source that supports anything other than Simon's wife as Ann. My preference would be to keep Ann Unknown as it is on this profile, as the spouse and mother, and detach Ann Roberson Bell, but create a link in the biography. Anyone feel differently?
Before these can be merged, there are two William Miller's attache as sons that appear to represent different people. William Miller (1742-1781) who married Catherine Maugin and William Miller (1760-1841) who married Elizabeth North. The age difference suggests a generational issue, but it would be a good idea to resolve first.
Miller-16286 and Miller-14296 appear to represent the same person because: Same dates and parents. [I believe they are associated with the wrong parents, but as a first step they should be de-duped] Thanks!!
I believe that Simon is actually the son of a different John Miller. John Miller. Several duplicates for Simon need to be resolved. I'd like to start by associating them with the other John Miller. John Miller m Mical Christopher doesn't mention a Simon in his will. There are a couple of duplicate Simon's, but as a first step I'd like to get these associated with the correct parents.
