Your message: I have a dilemma, "Which Wilhelmina" ?\nCan I use my mtDNA (Haplogroup X) and/or my autosomal to prove which of 3 or 4 Wilhelmina, born BERG, is MINE?\n\nI have German birth records (Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany) from these Wilhelmina's - all agreeing with or close to birth and christening dates I have. All are daughters of 1 of 2 August BERG and 1 of 2 possible wives - JENSEN or ACKERMAN). Wilhelmina's death, in Athens, Greene, New York, and other American records say only Wilhelmina (BERG) DERNEHL/DERNELL.\n\nI have access to autosomal DNA results from 2 female 1st cousins - daughters of the 2 sisters of my mother. [We would all share the same mtDNA as we descend from the same 2nd great grandmother DERNEHL and 1st great grandmother LANG and grandmother CURTIS.] Their only brother had no (legal/known) children, so no Y-DNA. Their paternal line CURTIS has daughtered out.\n\nCould the DNA results I have, assist me? Are there other relatives I need to test, etc.?\nNancy Purchase

Excellent webinar! Thank you!
Excellent
I love Diahan Southard! She always makes what I find as a complicated DNA subject a little less scary. I want to talk and listen to her all day long. What an amazing and knowledgeable person!
Very interesting, but very overwhelming to apply to one's family relations. I would love to learn much more about this subject. Thank you for the informative topic and look forward to more of the same.
Thank you! Excellent presentation. Learned a lot and opened the door to continuing to learn. Diahan breaks info down into understandable segments, much appreciated.
