Research notes

a category of mtDNA wanted has been added to Honor's profile, but I don't believe Honor has any living direct female line descendants able to contribute their mitochondrial DNA to determine Honor's place on the DNA tree of womankind and provide clues to her maternal great grandmother, the mother of Patience Pike. For that it rather looks like we have to explore the appicable descendents of her sisters or aunts. Henderson-2297 04:28, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
