Arthur Leroy Van Wagenen (18 Aug 1903 - 24 Dec 1995)

The paternal relationship between Arthur Leroy Van Wagenen and his daughter CVW is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RS.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RS and other confirmed descendants of David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RS descends from David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost through Arthur Leroy Van Wagenen and his daughter CVW, the presence of significant shared DNA between RS 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 Arthur Leroy Van Wagenen to CVW, and ultimately to RS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
