The maternal relationship between Donna Faye Rankin and her daughter TLS is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant MH.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MH and other confirmed descendants of
William Cragg/
Charlotte Selby is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MH descends from William Cragg/Charlotte Selby through Donna Faye Rankin and her daughter TLS, the presence of significant shared DNA between MH and other known descendants of William Cragg/Charlotte Selby validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple William Cragg/Charlotte Selby through Donna Faye Rankin to TLS, and ultimately to MH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
