Females: Our Maternal Line
I am fortunate that my Mam-ma first tested her DNA with Family Tree DNA and at the time it was only mtDNA that was available for her. This DNA covers the ancestors of our mother’s mother’s mother, etc. So far, the matches haven’t help much but who knows that someday there might be the right match. Our mtDNA line begins with my daughters. Next is me. My mother Lela Nell Johnston was born 21 Aug 1934 in Erath County, Texas. She married William J Hork 19 Apr 1953 in Concord, Contra Costa County, California. Lela's mother was Pansy Louise Lancaster (my Mam-ma), who was born 19 Nov 1913 in Erath County, Texas.
