DNA Connections
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:
Taylor-87857 and Taylor-59613 appear to represent the same person because: 1857 death date may be incorrect - more investigation needed - but same birth details and wife &c so they're certainly the same person. Sorry for accidentally creating a duplicate.
