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