The maternal relationship between Dorothy Marguerite Church and her DNA tested son GG is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between GG and other confirmed descendants of
Ephraim Mallory/
Desire Oates is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since GG descends from Ephraim Mallory/Desire Oates through Dorothy Marguerite Church, the presence of significant shared DNA between GG and other known descendants of Ephraim Mallory/Desire Oates validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Ephraim Mallory/Desire Oates through Dorothy Marguerite Church to GG, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
