The paternal relationship between Paul Riley Rhodes and his DNA tested daughter CR is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CR and other confirmed descendants of
Ridley Brown is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CR descends from Ridley Brown through Paul Riley Rhodes, the presence of significant shared DNA between CR and other known descendants of Ridley Brown validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Ridley Brown through Paul Riley Rhodes to CR, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
