The proposed relationship of William Charles Hake as the father of
Ella Mae Hake and
Mary Byrnini Byrna Hake is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.
Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between PM (a descendant of the Mary Byrnini Byrna Hake ancestral line) and PEC (a descendant of the Ella Mae Hake ancestral line) with 27.58 cM of shared DNA across 1 HIR segments.
This match is consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
