The maternal relationship between Judith Ann Maxwell and her DNA tested daughter AJ is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between AJ and other confirmed descendants of
John Murray Murdoch/
Ann Steele is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since AJ descends from John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele through Judith Ann Maxwell, the presence of significant shared DNA between AJ and other known descendants of John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele through Judith Ann Maxwell to AJ, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
