Velda Murdoch (17 Nov 1914 - ABT 2005)

The maternal relationship between Velda Murdoch and her daughter Deanne Depoister is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JWF.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JWF and other confirmed descendants of John Murray Murdoch is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JWF descends from John Murray Murdoch through Velda Murdoch and her daughter Deanne Depoister, the presence of significant shared DNA between JWF and other known descendants of John Murray Murdoch validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA John Murray Murdoch through Velda Murdoch to Deanne Depoister, and ultimately to JWF, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
