Charles Aiken Sr (ABT 1950 - 22 Feb 2021)

The paternal relationship between Charles Aiken Sr and his daughter CA is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant CA.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CA and other confirmed descendants of TD/A is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CA descends from TD/A through Charles Aiken Sr and his daughter CA, the presence of significant shared DNA between CA and other known descendants of TD/A validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple TD/A through Charles Aiken Sr to CA, and ultimately to CA, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
