David Rosco Van Wagenen (19 Mar 1887 - ABT 1954)

The paternal relationship between David Rosco Van Wagenen and his daughter Ruth Ann Van Wagenen is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DJR.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DJR and other confirmed descendants of David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DJR descends from David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost through David Rosco Van Wagenen and his daughter Ruth Ann Van Wagenen, the presence of significant shared DNA between DJR and other known descendants of David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost through David Rosco Van Wagenen to Ruth Ann Van Wagenen, and ultimately to DJR, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
