Hanora Tom Lenihan

The maternal relationship between Hanora Tom Lenihan and her son John OConnor is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant John OConnor.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between John OConnor and other confirmed descendants of John Sheehy/Elizabeth Drury is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since John OConnor descends from John Sheehy/Elizabeth Drury through Hanora Tom Lenihan and her son John OConnor, the presence of significant shared DNA between John OConnor and other known descendants of John Sheehy/Elizabeth Drury validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Sheehy/Elizabeth Drury through Hanora Tom Lenihan to John OConnor, and ultimately to John OConnor, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
