For genetics your best option is the MuFruitTree Project in Washington State, but they may only process apple samples.

You can submit clear pictures of the fruit along with relative bloom and harvest times here and we can see if it's consistent with other records if we can find them.
You could also reach out to Slow Food Huron Valley, who has a Jesuit Pear mapping project: https://www.slowfoodhuronvalley.com/arkoftaste/
