Jacob H McCollum

The proposed relationship of Jacob H McCollum as the father of Edward McCollum and ALM is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between CTM (a descendant of the ALM ancestral line) and EV (a descendant of the Edward McCollum ancestral line) with a shared segment of 34.55 cM across 2 HIR segments.

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