The maternal relationship between Maxine Elliott Griggs and her DNA tested daughter LG is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LG and other confirmed descendants of
James Simpson Griggs/
Malissa Hampton is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LG descends from James Simpson Griggs/Malissa Hampton through Maxine Elliott Griggs, the presence of significant shared DNA between LG and other known descendants of James Simpson Griggs/Malissa Hampton validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple James Simpson Griggs/Malissa Hampton through Maxine Elliott Griggs to LG, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
