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