The paternal relationship between Wayne Arnold Denman and his DNA tested son MD is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MD and other confirmed descendants of
James Alexander Short/
Elizabeth Moore is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MD descends from James Alexander Short/Elizabeth Moore through Wayne Arnold Denman, the presence of significant shared DNA between MD and other known descendants of James Alexander Short/Elizabeth Moore validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple James Alexander Short/Elizabeth Moore through Wayne Arnold Denman to MD, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
