DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Veronica 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 Veronica:
Hertzler, John, Brief Biographical Memorial of Jacob Hertzler and its footnote state that John Hertzler (son of *Jacob Hertzler) was married to Veronica Reichenbach a daughter of John and Veronica Reichenbach of CBP,6 John Reichenbach on the ship of 9/29/1733. No trace of this John Reichenbach has been found, in CBP or elsewhere, and no other children have been attributed to this marriage in Amish annals. It has long been felt by genealogical researchers that this information is at best dubious since there is no supporting evidence and since the Amish Reichenbachs have all been accounted for and completely outlined by Amos L. Fisher in "The Diary" for Apr to Aug 1972. Thus it seems likely that HGR2 is mistaken and that John Hertzler's wife was Veronica Yoder.
Reichenbach-106 and Yoder-86 appear to represent the same person because: Based upon the birthdates and the marriage to a Hertzler I believe that this person was born a Yoder and should be merged.
