DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Anna 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 Anna:
Your anser to the q below was very interesting to me. I'm eager for all you find about the years your Schneiders were in germany, first and then their descendents, who have a little chance of being mine.

How did Anna Jacobs get to the US from Nachtscheim, De? and when? Have you checked the Ellis Island (and other) records for Immigration info? I'm so curious. I have Schneider relatives. Please check
my whole tree: Hilse-32 and follow the line to Anna Bar (umlaut-a) to:
Shneider ancestors descendants
Magdalena Susanna
b. 10 Sep 1812 -
[village of] Oberoewischeim, Bruchsal, Baden, Prussia/Germany, Europe
and her father:
Christian Cristof Schneider
abt 1793 -
Basic question then is what is the mileage between Bruchsal (an area of Karlsruhe) and the village (presumably) of Nachtsheim?
