The paternal relationship between Martin 'Albert' Griggs and his daughter
Artie Millie Griggs is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant
Barbara Joyce Meeker.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between Barbara Joyce Meeker and other confirmed descendants of
James Simpson Griggs/
Malissa Hampton is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since Barbara Joyce Meeker descends from James Simpson Griggs/Malissa Hampton through Martin 'Albert' Griggs and his daughter Artie Millie Griggs, the presence of significant shared DNA between Barbara Joyce Meeker and other known descendants of James Simpson Griggs/Malissa Hampton validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple James Simpson Griggs/Malissa Hampton through Martin 'Albert' Griggs to Artie Millie Griggs, and ultimately to Barbara Joyce Meeker, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
