DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Catherine 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 Catherine:
Probably not, for two reasons. First, the date of birth is an estimate, calculated from the death record, and death records back then were not very reliable about the age of the deceased. However, if she really was fifty years old when she died, then yes, she really may have started having children -- in this marriage -- at age 41, given that she married Antoine Champagne in 1793, and the first recorded birth we have was in 1795.
So the second thing is, if she was born c.1757, this is unlikely to have been her first marriage, and she could have had children that aren't mentioned in these records we do have. If you have documentation of an earlier marriage or children, it would be great to have it here!
