The paternal relationship between Harold Dwight Stadler and his DNA tested daughter MS is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MS and other confirmed descendants of
Gideon Decamp/
Elizabeth Dougal is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MS descends from Gideon Decamp/Elizabeth Dougal through Harold Dwight Stadler, the presence of significant shared DNA between MS and other known descendants of Gideon Decamp/Elizabeth Dougal validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Gideon Decamp/Elizabeth Dougal through Harold Dwight Stadler to MS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
