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