The maternal relationship between Minnie Irene Cragg and her daughter LH is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant LH.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LH and other confirmed descendants of Nelson Cragg/Edna Richardson is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LH descends from Nelson Cragg/Edna Richardson through Minnie Irene Cragg and her daughter LH, the presence of significant shared DNA between LH and other known descendants of Nelson Cragg/Edna Richardson validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Nelson Cragg/Edna Richardson through Minnie Irene Cragg to LH, and ultimately to LH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
