I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that article. They (the church) have already found DNA matches and the JS-polygamous children links are documented on the publicly available LDS genealogy database. It is astounding to me that De Groote would not mention this in his article.
There is also overwhelming evidence that JS consummated his plural marriages. As I read the comments for the article I find myself wondering why these folks are doing so much high-fiving over the lack of a match in these cases.
Whenever I see this thread (or similar ones) randomly bumped, I am prone to believe that either someone is having a personal faith crisis or that person is losing a doctrinal/policy argument with a friend or relative and they need some ammo to further the fight.
What about the dna link to children from these marriages
Can't help you there. I've seen a few of them over the years but don't have the time/interest for digging for them. The ones I saw were on the church's genealogy website.

Of course, I don't understand why folks limit their search for children from polygamy to only Joseph Smith Jr unless they are RLDS/CoC/whatever. Brigham Young, for example, had lots of them with his polygamous wives.
