Geary

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

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between MFF (a descendant of the Bartholomew Geary ancestral line) and JJ (a descendant of the Mary Geary ancestral line) with a shared segment of 25.53 cM across 2 HIR segments.

It also confirms a distant cousin relationship between MFF (a descendant of the Bartholomew Geary ancestral line) and JG (a descendant of the Martin Geary ancestral line) with a shared segment of 23.74 cM across 2 HIR segments.

It also 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.

These matches are consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
