Brigham Murdoch (ABT 1870 - 13 May 1947)

The paternal relationship between Brigham Murdoch and his daughter Laura Jean Murdoch is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RB.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RB and other confirmed descendants of John Murray Murdoch is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RB descends from John Murray Murdoch through Brigham Murdoch and his daughter Laura Jean Murdoch, the presence of significant shared DNA between RB and other known descendants of John Murray Murdoch validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA John Murray Murdoch through Brigham Murdoch to Laura Jean Murdoch, and ultimately to RB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
