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