The paternal relationship between Samuel Francis Gettz and his son
Raymond Grant Gettz is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KR.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KR and other confirmed descendants of
Charles Washington Gettz is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KR descends from Charles Washington Gettz through Samuel Francis Gettz and his son Raymond Grant Gettz, the presence of significant shared DNA between KR and other known descendants of Charles Washington Gettz validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Charles Washington Gettz through Samuel Francis Gettz to Raymond Grant Gettz, and ultimately to KR, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
