The paternal relationship between Placecard DYE and his son
Edward ROBERTS is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant Joan Patricia ROBERTS.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between Joan Patricia ROBERTS and other confirmed descendants of JH/MF is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since Joan Patricia ROBERTS descends from JH/MF through Placecard DYE and his son Edward ROBERTS, the presence of significant shared DNA between Joan Patricia ROBERTS and other known descendants of JH/MF validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple JH/MF through Placecard DYE to Edward ROBERTS, and ultimately to Joan Patricia ROBERTS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
