John Edward Culp (22 Aug 1932 - 31 Jul 2009)

The paternal relationship between John Edward Culp and his DNA tested daughter KMC is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KMC and other confirmed descendants of Balthasar Kolb/Elizabeth Moyer is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KMC descends from Balthasar Kolb/Elizabeth Moyer through John Edward Culp, the presence of significant shared DNA between KMC and other known descendants of Balthasar Kolb/Elizabeth Moyer validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Balthasar Kolb/Elizabeth Moyer through John Edward Culp to KMC, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
