Lydia Ethel York (1883 - 1937)

  • Lydia Ethel York (1883 - 1937)
    The maternal relationship between Lydia Ethel York and her son Harvey Fay Terry is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant GT.

    The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between GT and other confirmed descendants of David York is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since GT descends from David York through Lydia Ethel York and her son Harvey Fay Terry, the presence of significant shared DNA between GT and other known descendants of David York validates the generational links along this maternal line.

    This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA David York through Lydia Ethel York to Harvey Fay Terry, and ultimately to GT, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
