DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Laura 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 Laura:
Is there a source for her death date/place? She was living with her son in Victoria, Texas in 1920. Oklahoma is 7 + hours by car, and none of her children lived in Oklahoma.
