DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Willie 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 Willie:
Tannehill-111 and Tanniehill-10 appear to represent the same person because: I believe this is the same person because Artle Lee is listed as granddaughter on the 1930 census with Will and Agnes. Willie Mae is enumerated as female on 1910 census, but male on 1920.
