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