The maternal relationship between Mary Gladys Murdoch and her daughter
Patricia Ann Turner is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KKS.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KKS and other confirmed descendants of
John Murray Murdoch/
Ann Steele is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KKS descends from John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele through Mary Gladys Murdoch and her daughter Patricia Ann Turner, the presence of significant shared DNA between KKS 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 Mary Gladys Murdoch to Patricia Ann Turner, and ultimately to KKS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
