Geary

The proposed relationship of Geary as the father of Bartholomew Geary and John Geary is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between MFF (a descendant of the Bartholomew Geary ancestral line) and Michael Geary (a descendant of the John Geary ancestral line) with a shared segment of 31.59 cM across 3 HIR segments.

This match is consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
