Somebody Knows Something · S3E8: Family Trees · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

Yeah, that's right.

And, as we started talking about when we started this project, I know we looked at a bunch of different sources.

We could branch out as far as maternal cousins and second cousins and things like that.

But we felt like at least to start, we should try to focus on relatives that had a closer biological relationship to Yteria.

Our thinking was basically that we've had a hard enough time tracking down relatives as it is.

So tracking down some extended cousins or people like that might be even more difficult.

We focused our search on people that share the same mother, Louise, as Witeria, and on sets of people that we just listed, Witeria's children, her siblings, her nieces, and her nephews, to try to locate living relatives for Witeria that meet the maternal criteria that we need.

As of the date of this recording, we have determined that Witeria was likely one of nine children, but again, those old records can be difficult.

Plus, some of her siblings are male, meaning if they're deceased, their direct descendants do not share mtDNA with Witeria.

Right, Andrew?

Yeah, they do, Chris.

And we're very lucky that she has so many siblings and so many sisters.

We've also found that a number of her sisters have multiple children of their own.

So that's why we have over 150 people in our current tree and why we are continuing to try to track down more people to add to it.

Chris and I wanted to provide this disclaimer and appeal to people listening to this podcast.

We were asking the people involved in missing person cases to at least consider providing samples in these cases.

Your DNA sample could help solve a case or identify a missing person.

So please consider that option if someone like Beth or Chris or I call and reach out to you looking to work on a case that's likely curious.

There's another way that you can help too.

People often ask us, well, if I did my DNA on Ancestry.com or 23andMe or some other site like that, can't the police just use that?
