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