The paternal relationship between William Robert Albertson and his son Edwin Hugh Albertson is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant BM.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between BM and other confirmed descendants of John Albertson/Elizabeth Hunter is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since BM descends from John Albertson/Elizabeth Hunter through William Robert Albertson and his son Edwin Hugh Albertson, the presence of significant shared DNA between BM and other known descendants of John Albertson/Elizabeth Hunter validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Albertson/Elizabeth Hunter through William Robert Albertson to Edwin Hugh Albertson, and ultimately to BM, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
