David L Van Wagenen (20 Nov 1859 - 21 Apr 1940)

The paternal relationship between David L Van Wagenen and his son David Rosco Van Wagenen is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DJR.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DJR and other confirmed descendants of David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DJR descends from David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost through David L Van Wagenen and his son David Rosco Van Wagenen, the presence of significant shared DNA between DJR and other known descendants of David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost through David L Van Wagenen to David Rosco Van Wagenen, and ultimately to DJR, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
