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