We did another case where the woman died in 1880s.

We did another case where the woman died in 1880s.

Was that the graveyard case, where they'd missed a coffin when the land was repurposed, where it was thought to be a child, but it was a woman who died in her early twenties? Or am I getting my wires crossed?

This fascinating one?

Is it even possible to conduct genetic genealogy on this woman? She died WAY back in 1840 and apparently there hasn't been any news about an exhumation since the 2021 article.

No DDP did that case- the woman was Edith Patten. This is the case Othram was referring to:

Identified! - OH - Fem, bones, found in garage, 13-20, New London, Sept 2016 - Hallie Armstrong, died in 1881
