The maternal relationship between Ruth Ann Van Wagenen and her DNA tested son DJR is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DJR and other confirmed descendants of
David Van Wagenen/
Julia Ann Provost is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DJR descends from David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost through Ruth Ann Van Wagenen, the presence of significant shared DNA between DJR and other known descendants of David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost through Ruth Ann Van Wagenen to DJR, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
