DNA Information

The DNA Information for A. M. Bridge was confirmed by 23andMe linking both R. Sahm Jr., A.'s son and only child to this profile's manager, Anonymous Hauschel. 23andMe also confirms BB Sahm, child of R., grandchild of A., to Anonymous Hauschel. Anonymous Hauschel and R. are genealogically linked through A.'s mother, Clara May (Neff) Bridge (1871-1939), confirming A.'s link to her mother and mother's family, Margery and Joseph Neff. Anonymous and R. Sahm Jr are second cousins, once removed, while BB Sahm and Anonymous are direct third cousins. The most recent common ancestors for these matches are Margery Sanders Neff and Joseph Leathers Neff (1836-1911).

Moreover, the profiles of BB Sahm and Anonymous P. Lakavage are confirmed by GEDmatch by test run on 6 October 2022 with matching segments of 12.6 cM. They are genealogically linked as 3rd cousins. Lakavage is also matched to BB Sahm through AncestryDNA, as 2nd-4th cousins.

Unconnected to WikiTree, there are other 23andMe matches through the Sanders-Neff familylines. Those matches are with persons not apart of the WikiTree Project, and, therefore, not listable, but still exist. These tests were further corroborated as true and accurate through verified accounts at AncestryDNA and GEDmatch.com where even more cousins not connected to WikiTree are found.

mtDNA Trail
Additionally, the mt DNA of R. Sahm Jr., A.'s son and Anonymous Hauschel match identically on the testing site 23andMe, confirming a matrilineal descendant for both from Margery Elizabeth Ellen (Sanders) Neff (1839-1911), their MRCA of the maternal line. Anonymous P. Lakavage, who tested through AncestryDNA, may also be linked, as Lakavage shares the same mtDNA genealogical chain to Hauschel and R. Sahm Jr.
