The paternal relationship between Mark Rasband Cram and his DNA tested son MC is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MC and other confirmed descendants of
John Murray Murdoch/
Ann Steele is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MC descends from John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele through Mark Rasband Cram, the presence of significant shared DNA between MC and other known descendants of John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele through Mark Rasband Cram to MC, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
