DNA

• Maternal relationship is confirmed through Mitochondrial DNA test results on Family Tree DNA. W W and her 11th cousin 1x removed, Mariane St-Onge, FTDNA kit # IN30543, have an exact HVR1, HVR2 and Coding Region match, thereby confirming their direct maternal lines back to their most-recent common ancestor who is Catherine Hébert, the 11x great grandmother of W W and 10x great grandmother of Mariane St-Onge.
