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:
Joseph Morse father of Liphe, Anthony, Sarah Atkinson, Rebecca Morse, wrote his will on November 19, 1770, proved 1773 - so the death date on this profile is for some other Joseph.
