James Crawford Murdock (12 Feb 1869 - 14 Aug 1959)

The paternal relationship between James Crawford Murdock and his son George Merrol Murdock is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RJM.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RJM and other confirmed descendants of James Murdoch/Mary Murray is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RJM descends from James Murdoch/Mary Murray through James Crawford Murdock and his son George Merrol Murdock, the presence of significant shared DNA between RJM and other known descendants of James Murdoch/Mary Murray validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple James Murdoch/Mary Murray through James Crawford Murdock to George Merrol Murdock, and ultimately to RJM, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
