The paternal relationship between Wallace Matthew and his DNA tested son JM is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JM and other confirmed descendants of
William Emerson is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JM descends from William Emerson through Wallace Matthew, the presence of significant shared DNA between JM and other known descendants of William Emerson validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA William Emerson through Wallace Matthew to JM, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
