George Franklin Hartman (27 May 1855 - 5 Sep 1913)

The paternal relationship between George Franklin Hartman and his son Benjamin Christopher Hartman is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant VS.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between VS and other confirmed descendants of Abraham Hartman is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since VS descends from Abraham Hartman through George Franklin Hartman and his son Benjamin Christopher Hartman, the presence of significant shared DNA between VS and other known descendants of Abraham Hartman validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Abraham Hartman through George Franklin Hartman to Benjamin Christopher Hartman, and ultimately to VS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
