DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Martha 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 Martha:
"We are working hard to reduce the number of “Unkown” (misspelled Unknown) profiles on Wikitree. The standard usage on Wikitree is Unknown; see details below to clarify why this is important. The profile Not Sure-308 for Sarah is a case in point.
This was posted recently on our G2G forum by the Unknowns project: "When profiles have the surname Unknown, they will show up in searches where a married name is searched, but there are profiles where the surname is not known. In other words, if you have "Elizabeth (Unknown) Martin," and you search for "Elizabeth Martin," profiles for Elizabeth Unknown are included in the search, whereas profiles for "Elizabeth [uncertain]" are not."
I have checked for sources and found the last name at birth (LNAB) for Martha– it is Alexander. Could you please take a moment and change the LNAB birth on this profile? If you manage multiple Unknown profiles, I’m happy to work with you to find and update each one! Just let me know!
We would really appreciate this contribution to our collaborative WikiTree. If we can’t find the profile, we can’t work together to improve it!
