The paternal relationship between Alvin Finch and his daughter
Evelyn Lorraine Finch is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JM.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JM and other confirmed descendants of
John Carpenter/
Elizabeth Jane Higginbottom is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JM descends from John Carpenter/Elizabeth Jane Higginbottom through Alvin Finch and his daughter Evelyn Lorraine Finch, the presence of significant shared DNA between JM and other known descendants of John Carpenter/Elizabeth Jane Higginbottom validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Carpenter/Elizabeth Jane Higginbottom through Alvin Finch to Evelyn Lorraine Finch, and ultimately to JM, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
