Eliza named her 7th child (and my husband's X2 great grandmother) after her mother whose maiden name I have not yet discovered.

Confirming the research are DNA matches between Chris and the descendants of Daniel & Bertha. 

Discovering the ancestor who passed specific the ethnicity results discovered in your DNA testing!!!
