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