The proposed relationship of Lydia Radke as the mother of
Kenneth Shipley and
Shirley Ruth Shipley is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.
Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between SR (a descendant of the Kenneth Shipley ancestral line) and EF (a descendant of the Shirley Ruth Shipley ancestral line) with 89.18 cM of shared DNA across 4 HIR segments.
This match is consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
