The paternal relationship between Rollin Lloyd Dutro and his DNA tested son LD is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LD and other confirmed descendants of
Timothy Meeker/
Desire Cory is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LD descends from Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory through Rollin Lloyd Dutro, the presence of significant shared DNA between LD and other known descendants of Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory through Rollin Lloyd Dutro to LD, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
