Valentine Geary (ABT 1865 - ABT 1936)

The paternal relationship between Valentine Geary and his son John Geary is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JG.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JG and other confirmed descendants of G is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JG descends from G through Valentine Geary and his son John Geary, the presence of significant shared DNA between JG and other known descendants of G validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA G through Valentine Geary to John Geary, and ultimately to JG, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
