DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Ann 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 Ann:
Louisa-57 and Obey-34 appear to represent the same person because: These profiles are for the same woman. Although my profile is the more recent one, the last name at birth is correct, so I'm proposing to merge yours into mine. I'd be more than happy to make you the profile manager again if you'd like! Just let me know. I do not have a personal connection to her. I was just working on the local cemetery where she is buried.
