The maternal relationship between Hazel Belle Carr and her son
Harold Robert Merrill is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RDM.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RDM and other confirmed descendants of
Charles Edgar Carr/
Hannah Delora Sharp is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RDM descends from Charles Edgar Carr/Hannah Delora Sharp through Hazel Belle Carr and her son Harold Robert Merrill, the presence of significant shared DNA between RDM and other known descendants of Charles Edgar Carr/Hannah Delora Sharp validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Charles Edgar Carr/Hannah Delora Sharp through Hazel Belle Carr to Harold Robert Merrill, and ultimately to RDM, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
