DNA

Using 23andMe testing, LaMyra Morton , her father (LI), brother(LII) and a 1st cousin(PH) of her father, all descendants of Allen Morton, have matched DNA to a gg-granddaughter (DK) of Daniel Morton.

The MRCA are Jeremiah Morton and Winnie Easley.

LI matches DK on 3 segments with 89 cM. They are 3C1R. Morton-7125 also matches DK on 3 segments with 89 cM. They are 4C. LII matches DK on 1 segment at 17 cM. They are 4C. PH matches DK on 4 segments with 92 cM. They are 3C1R.

23 and Me predicted that Morton-7125 and DK would be 4C with 1.20% of their DNA matching. Would like to find another 4th cousin match.
