DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Ruth 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 Ruth:
Wood-23143 and Wood-10300 appear to represent the same person because: Looks like Mary is conflation of both wives, but more closely matching the Wood surname and not the Unknown surname wife.
Woods-4965 and Wood-16224 appear to represent the same person because: I am almost certain that these are the same person they are both married to Moses Sample/sampel There are a couple of duplicates
I would like to work together to resolve this double line
