DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Jean Baptiste by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA test-takers in his direct paternal line.
Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
Sévigny-11 and Vigneault-41 appear to represent the same person because: Same approx birth date, same place.
Married to same spouse on same date and place.
Same death date and place.
The reason I think these are the same is that Karen Theriot Reader gives him a dit name of Sonjean which could have been made into Sevigny in the one profile.
Vigneau-165
Married to same spouse on same date and place. Same death date and place. The reason I think these are the same is that Karen Theriot Reader gives him a dit name of Sonjean which could have been made into Sevigny in the one profile.
