Joseph Napoleon Piedalu Prairie ( - 1928)

The paternal relationship between Joseph Napoleon Piedalu Prairie and his daughter Felicite Prairie is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KLF.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KLF and other confirmed descendants of Jean Louis Patenaude/Genevieve Lareau is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KLF descends from Jean Louis Patenaude/Genevieve Lareau through Joseph Napoleon Piedalu Prairie and his daughter Felicite Prairie, the presence of significant shared DNA between KLF and other known descendants of Jean Louis Patenaude/Genevieve Lareau validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Jean Louis Patenaude/Genevieve Lareau through Joseph Napoleon Piedalu Prairie to Felicite Prairie, and ultimately to KLF, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
