It is likely that these
autosomal DNA
test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Amanda:
It appears that Amy was her name. Sources are the transcription of her marriage bond (written Ama), and her son's marriage record (Amy). Find a Grave is unreliable in general, and hers is highly suspect. Are there any other sources that show her name as Amanda?
Excellent find, as it is an original document. The marriage bond information, as I mentioned, is only a transcription.
I presume this consent document was written by her father, rather than dictated by him? There is no indication that he signed with his mark, anyway. What do you think?
It looks to be like either Ama or Anna. I'd say Anna because it sounds more familiar, if it weren't for her son's marriage record. We now have Ama, Anna, and Amy. No wonder the impulse is to punt and go with Amanda.
