The paternal relationship between Samuel Weaver West and his daughter
Florence Mae West is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RW.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RW and other confirmed descendants of WH/MM is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RW descends from WH/MM through Samuel Weaver West and his daughter Florence Mae West, the presence of significant shared DNA between RW and other known descendants of WH/MM validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple WH/MM through Samuel Weaver West to Florence Mae West, and ultimately to RW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
