The maternal relationship between Mary Darlene Skaggs and her DNA tested daughter TB is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between TB and other confirmed descendants of
James Eaton/
Mary Ann Brocklebank is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since TB descends from James Eaton/Mary Ann Brocklebank through Mary Darlene Skaggs, the presence of significant shared DNA between TB and other known descendants of James Eaton/Mary Ann Brocklebank validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple James Eaton/Mary Ann Brocklebank through Mary Darlene Skaggs to TB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
