The maternal relationship between Dorothy Mae Allen and her daughter SK is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant SK.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between SK and other confirmed descendants of Jacob Carner/Sarah Ellen Albertson is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since SK descends from Jacob Carner/Sarah Ellen Albertson through Dorothy Mae Allen and her daughter SK, the presence of significant shared DNA between SK and other known descendants of Jacob Carner/Sarah Ellen Albertson validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Jacob Carner/Sarah Ellen Albertson through Dorothy Mae Allen to SK, and ultimately to SK, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
