The paternal relationship between Micah Tompkins and his son
John Tompkins is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant VMSN.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between VMSN and other confirmed descendants of
Ralph Tomkins/
Katherine Foster is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since VMSN descends from Ralph Tomkins/Katherine Foster through Micah Tompkins and his son John Tompkins, the presence of significant shared DNA between VMSN and other known descendants of Ralph Tomkins/Katherine Foster validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Ralph Tomkins/Katherine Foster through Micah Tompkins to John Tompkins, and ultimately to VMSN, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
