William Thomas Wells (ABT 1927 - ABT 2017)

The paternal relationship between William Thomas Wells and his daughter AW is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant CU.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CU and other confirmed descendants of John Murray Murdoch is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CU descends from John Murray Murdoch through William Thomas Wells and his daughter AW, the presence of significant shared DNA between CU and other known descendants of John Murray Murdoch validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA John Murray Murdoch through William Thomas Wells to AW, and ultimately to CU, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
