DNA
Triangulated atDNA matches exist between descendants of Elizabeth and of her brother John: Chr 2 12-23 mbp (12-12.95cMs), Ralph, Lorna, Bill but as Lorna and Bill are only 2nd cousins, this does not meet WikiTree's "DNA confirmed" status.
A 3rd cousin who descends from Elizabeth's son Walter Wight now also shares this segment with Ralph, Lorna, and Bill but this only confirms Helen Sinton Wight to Walter Wight DNA relationship.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth:
The parents' "confirmed with DNA" indicators were removed because the DNA confirmation is not properly documented and the triangulation may be incorrect. (All members of a triangulation group (three or more DNA testers) must be greater than third cousins to each other.)
Please see Autosomal Triangulation for more details and guidance for proper documentation for "confirmed with DNA."
Thank you.

"If there isn't a proper source citation the "Confirmed with DNA" relationship status should be removed (by you or another member)."
