The paternal relationship between John Alton Reinhard and his son Clarence K. Reinhard is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant TR.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between TR and other confirmed descendants of John House is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since TR descends from John House through John Alton Reinhard and his son Clarence K. Reinhard, the presence of significant shared DNA between TR and other known descendants of John House validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA John House through John Alton Reinhard to Clarence K. Reinhard, and ultimately to TR, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
