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