George William Arnold (ABT 1874 - 1948)

The paternal relationship between George William Arnold and his son George William Arnold is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant LW.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LW and other confirmed descendants of William BARNARD BARNETT/Mary MARINER is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LW descends from William BARNARD BARNETT/Mary MARINER through George William Arnold and his son George William Arnold, the presence of significant shared DNA between LW and other known descendants of William BARNARD BARNETT/Mary MARINER validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple William BARNARD BARNETT/Mary MARINER through George William Arnold to George William Arnold, and ultimately to LW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
