Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 2nd cousin, twice removed relationship between EG (a descendant of the Ann Murdoch ancestral line) and JJ (a descendant of the Jacobina Wells Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) with 168.05 cM of shared DNA across 6 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between RG (a descendant of the Ann Murdoch ancestral line) and KKS (a descendant of the Joseph Alexander Murdoch ancestral line) with 122.87 cM of shared DNA across 5 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between RG (a descendant of the Ann Murdoch ancestral line) and DBL (a descendant of the David Steele Murdock ancestral line) with 131.04 cM of shared DNA across 5 HIR segments.

It also confirms a distant cousin relationship between MM (a descendant of the Janett Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) and EC (a descendant of the Jacobina Wells Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) with 54.76 cM of shared DNA across 1 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 2nd cousin, twice removed relationship between MM (a descendant of the Janett Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) and MKL (a descendant of the Joseph Alexander Murdoch ancestral line) with 120.46 cM of shared DNA across 5 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 2nd cousin, twice removed relationship between DBL (a descendant of the David Steele Murdock ancestral line) and JCD (a descendant of the Janett Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) with 101.96 cM of shared DNA across 5 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 2nd cousin, once removed relationship between MM (a descendant of the Janett Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) and BJM (a descendant of the Millicent Sophia Murdoch ancestral line) with 200.88 cM of shared DNA across 6 HIR segments.

It also confirms a distant cousin relationship between ANA (a descendant of the Jacobina Wells Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) and JM (a descendant of the Sarah Jane Murdoch ancestral line) with 21.26 cM of shared DNA across 2 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between JWF (a descendant of the David Steele Murdock ancestral line) and JM (a descendant of the Sarah Jane Murdoch ancestral line) with 59.80 cM of shared DNA across 3 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 2nd cousin, twice removed relationship between EC (a descendant of the Jacobina Wells Osborne Murdoch ancestral line) and KM (a descendant of the Joseph Alexander Murdoch ancestral line) with 113.64 cM of shared DNA across 4 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between NA (a descendant of the David Steele Murdock ancestral line) and KKS (a descendant of the Joseph Alexander Murdoch ancestral line) with 104.68 cM of shared DNA across 4 HIR segments.

It also confirms a 2nd cousin, once removed relationship between AJ (a descendant of the Joseph Alexander Murdoch ancestral line) and BJM (a descendant of the Millicent Sophia Murdoch ancestral line) with 154.84 cM of shared DNA across 6 HIR segments.

These matches are consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.

Further support for shared ancestry within the Ann Murdoch, Jacobina Wells Osborne Murdoch, Joseph Alexander Murdoch, David Steele Murdock, Janett Osborne Murdoch, Millicent Sophia Murdoch and Sarah Jane Murdoch lines is provided by an additional 94 DNA confirmed relationships among other tested descendants tracing back to these lines.
