The maternal relationship between Frances May Tolbert and her DNA tested daughter AK is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between AK and other confirmed descendants of WT/
Emily Curtis is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since AK descends from WT/Emily Curtis through Frances May Tolbert, the presence of significant shared DNA between AK and other known descendants of WT/Emily Curtis validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple WT/Emily Curtis through Frances May Tolbert to AK, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
