Genevieve Patenaude ( - 1845)

The maternal relationship between Genevieve Patenaude and her son Joseph Clovis Piedalue dit Prairie is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KLF.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KLF and other confirmed descendants of Jean Louis Patenaude/Genevieve Lareau is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KLF descends from Jean Louis Patenaude/Genevieve Lareau through Genevieve Patenaude and her son Joseph Clovis Piedalue dit Prairie, the presence of significant shared DNA between KLF and other known descendants of Jean Louis Patenaude/Genevieve Lareau validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Jean Louis Patenaude/Genevieve Lareau through Genevieve Patenaude to Joseph Clovis Piedalue dit Prairie, and ultimately to KLF, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
