John Geldard

The proposed relationship of John Geldard as the father of Edward Geldard and SG is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between JR (a descendant of the Edward Geldard ancestral line) and RW (a descendant of the SG ancestral line) with a shared segment of 33.11 cM across 2 HIR segments.

This match is consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
