The maternal relationship between Theresa Maria Carpenter and her DNA tested daughter KH is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KH and other confirmed descendants of
John Carpenter/DT is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KH descends from John Carpenter/DT through Theresa Maria Carpenter, the presence of significant shared DNA between KH and other known descendants of John Carpenter/DT validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Carpenter/DT through Theresa Maria Carpenter to KH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
