The maternal relationship between Lilian Virginia Hartman and her son
Ira Bruce Stark is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant VS.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between VS and other confirmed descendants of
Abraham Hartman is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since VS descends from Abraham Hartman through Lilian Virginia Hartman and her son Ira Bruce Stark, the presence of significant shared DNA between VS and other known descendants of Abraham Hartman validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Abraham Hartman through Lilian Virginia Hartman to Ira Bruce Stark, and ultimately to VS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
