DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Lucas Johannes 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 Lucas Johannes:
I am working on a theory that he was married three times. Can the following be.
His second wife died Hester Prinsloo died 24 Dec 1843 - there is a marriage record for a Lukas Johannes Potgieter (listed as widower) dated 8 September 1845 - Gamtoos River, Uitenhage. His residence listed as the Bushmans river ( https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJG-L7XM?i=580&cc=2821281) marriage to Regina Catharina Rademeyer.
She remarried in 2 Oct 1873 - listed as widow of Lucas Johannes Potgieter. Her death notice I am thinking there is an error on the dates due to marriage record giving a different date of her first husband death as 1876. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSK8-G8FZ?cc=2821281
Potgieter-1476 and Potgieter-1475 do not represent the same person because: See comment of Ronel. I'll do the final integration of the both bio's soon, but they are different people.
Potgieter-1476 and Potgieter-1475 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicates. I'll do the final integration of the bio after the merge, thanks!
