DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Balser 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 Balser:
Remley-279 and Remley-61 appear to represent the same person because: Birth and death information are close although parents don't match. For Remley-61, if you go up 2 generations the names are the same as parents of Remley-279, which is probably correct. Line of Remley-61 has no sources. May need to be an unmerged match.
