William Bernard Carpenter (1853 - 1927)

The paternal relationship between William Bernard Carpenter and his daughter Amanda Ellen Carpenter is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant AV.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between AV and other confirmed descendants of Edward Carpenter is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since AV descends from Edward Carpenter through William Bernard Carpenter and his daughter Amanda Ellen Carpenter, the presence of significant shared DNA between AV and other known descendants of Edward Carpenter validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Edward Carpenter through William Bernard Carpenter to Amanda Ellen Carpenter, and ultimately to AV, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
