The paternal relationship between Robert Norman Hatcher and his 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
James Fulton Hatcher/
Catherine Elizabeth Martin is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KH descends from James Fulton Hatcher/Catherine Elizabeth Martin through Robert Norman Hatcher, the presence of significant shared DNA between KH and other known descendants of James Fulton Hatcher/Catherine Elizabeth Martin validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple James Fulton Hatcher/Catherine Elizabeth Martin through Robert Norman Hatcher to KH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
