The paternal relationship between David Thomas Reynolds and his DNA tested son AR is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between AR and other confirmed descendants of
Hans Peter Kramer/
Marie Eva Arnold is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since AR descends from Hans Peter Kramer/Marie Eva Arnold through David Thomas Reynolds, the presence of significant shared DNA between AR and other known descendants of Hans Peter Kramer/Marie Eva Arnold validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Hans Peter Kramer/Marie Eva Arnold through David Thomas Reynolds to AR, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
