Catherine Ozelia Matherne (11 Jan 1892 - 26 Jan 1980)

The maternal relationship between Catherine Ozelia Matherne and her son Byrd James Hutchinson is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant SHH.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between SHH and other confirmed descendants of Octave Matherne/Eleonore Guitreaux is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since SHH descends from Octave Matherne/Eleonore Guitreaux through Catherine Ozelia Matherne and her son Byrd James Hutchinson, the presence of significant shared DNA between SHH and other known descendants of Octave Matherne/Eleonore Guitreaux validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Octave Matherne/Eleonore Guitreaux through Catherine Ozelia Matherne to Byrd James Hutchinson, and ultimately to SHH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
