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