Walter Newman (1892 - 1965)

The paternal relationship between Walter Newman and his daughter Joyce Carol Newman is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant LR.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LR and other confirmed descendants of Johan Erik Olofsson Nyman/Sofia Serafia Utterström is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LR descends from Johan Erik Olofsson Nyman/Sofia Serafia Utterström through Walter Newman and his daughter Joyce Carol Newman, the presence of significant shared DNA between LR and other known descendants of Johan Erik Olofsson Nyman/Sofia Serafia Utterström validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Johan Erik Olofsson Nyman/Sofia Serafia Utterström through Walter Newman to Joyce Carol Newman, and ultimately to LR, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
