Orson Ray Lloyd (25 Nov 1932 - 20 Apr 2015)

The paternal relationship between Orson Ray Lloyd and his son Jeffery Dee Lloyd is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JL.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JL and other confirmed descendants of David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JL descends from David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost through Orson Ray Lloyd and his son Jeffery Dee Lloyd, the presence of significant shared DNA between JL and other known descendants of David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost through Orson Ray Lloyd to Jeffery Dee Lloyd, and ultimately to JL, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
