DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Isabella 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 Isabella:
Smith-192707 and Smith-39052 appear to represent the same person because: Same husband. Fathers are different so one of the profiles will need to be disconnected from the current father to enable completion of the merge. Please could you check your sources to clarify which father is likely to be the incorrect one. Thanks!
