The paternal relationship between Marvin Winey Herr and his son
Dale Leroy Herr is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DH.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DH and other confirmed descendants of
John Herr/
Harriett Spitler is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DH descends from John Herr/Harriett Spitler through Marvin Winey Herr and his son Dale Leroy Herr, the presence of significant shared DNA between DH and other known descendants of John Herr/Harriett Spitler validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Herr/Harriett Spitler through Marvin Winey Herr to Dale Leroy Herr, and ultimately to DH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
