Elroy Murdoch (11 Dec 1910 - 25 Oct 1983)

The paternal relationship between Elroy Murdoch and his son RKM is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KM.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KM and other confirmed descendants of James Murdoch/Mary Murray is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KM descends from James Murdoch/Mary Murray through Elroy Murdoch and his son RKM, the presence of significant shared DNA between KM and other known descendants of James Murdoch/Mary Murray validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple James Murdoch/Mary Murray through Elroy Murdoch to RKM, and ultimately to KM, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
