The paternal relationship between Dennis Owen Carpenter and his DNA tested son DC is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DC and other confirmed descendants of
Edward S. Carpenter/
Eleanor 'Ellen' House is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DC descends from Edward S. Carpenter/Eleanor 'Ellen' House through Dennis Owen Carpenter, the presence of significant shared DNA between DC and other known descendants of Edward S. Carpenter/Eleanor 'Ellen' House validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Edward S. Carpenter/Eleanor 'Ellen' House through Dennis Owen Carpenter to DC, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
