The paternal relationship between James Mckaig and his son
Archie McKaig is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KM.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KM and other confirmed descendants of
Timothy Meeker/
Desire Cory is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KM descends from Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory through James Mckaig and his son Archie McKaig, the presence of significant shared DNA between KM and other known descendants of Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Timothy Meeker/Desire Cory through James Mckaig to Archie McKaig, and ultimately to KM, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
