Alexander Goulette (1799 - 1858)

The paternal relationship between Alexander Goulette and his son Ambrose Goulette is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant LAD.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LAD and other confirmed descendants of Pierre Patenaude/Catherine Brunet is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LAD descends from Pierre Patenaude/Catherine Brunet through Alexander Goulette and his son Ambrose Goulette, the presence of significant shared DNA between LAD and other known descendants of Pierre Patenaude/Catherine Brunet validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Pierre Patenaude/Catherine Brunet through Alexander Goulette to Ambrose Goulette, and ultimately to LAD, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
