Linda Duncan (01 May 1953 - 12 Jul 2022)

The maternal relationship between Linda Duncan and her son CS is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant CS.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CS and other confirmed descendants of Willie Franklin Duncan/Alma Pearl Chalmers is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CS descends from Willie Franklin Duncan/Alma Pearl Chalmers through Linda Duncan and her son CS, the presence of significant shared DNA between CS and other known descendants of Willie Franklin Duncan/Alma Pearl Chalmers validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Willie Franklin Duncan/Alma Pearl Chalmers through Linda Duncan to CS, and ultimately to CS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
