It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Robert 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 Robert:
Robert Pendleton Steenbergen was my grandmother's grandfather. She was Martha Cloud "Patsy" Steenbergen Harrison. She purchased the grave stone, had it placed and the inscription is incorrect. It describes Robert's father, Pieter Steenbergen.
