Elaine Murdock (26 Apr 1933 - ABT 1995)

The maternal relationship between Elaine Murdock and her daughter AF is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant CR.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CR and other confirmed descendants of John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CR descends from John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele through Elaine Murdock and her daughter AF, the presence of significant shared DNA between CR and other known descendants of John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele through Elaine Murdock to AF, and ultimately to CR, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
