Bertha Almira Meeker (21/05/1865 - 23/12/1935)

The proposed relationship of Bertha Almira Meeker as the mother of Newton C. Morford and Edith Eloise Morford is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 1st cousin, twice removed relationship between TS (a descendant of the Edith Eloise Morford ancestral line) and JM (a descendant of the Newton C. Morford ancestral line) with a shared segment of 200.63 cM across 8 HIR segments.

This match is consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
