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