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