DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John 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 John:
Sherwood-1164 and Sherwood-145 are not ready to be merged because: I have major issue with Hannah Stebbins as John's wife - Do you have some documentation for her ???
The merge should still be done with a note on the profile that there is a question on the second marriage
