Byrd James Hutchinson (29 Oct 1930 - 07 Jul 2003)

The paternal relationship between Byrd James Hutchinson and his DNA tested son SHH is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between SHH and other confirmed descendants of Octave Matherne/Eleonore Guitreaux is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since SHH descends from Octave Matherne/Eleonore Guitreaux through Byrd James Hutchinson, the presence of significant shared DNA between SHH and other known descendants of Octave Matherne/Eleonore Guitreaux validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Octave Matherne/Eleonore Guitreaux through Byrd James Hutchinson to SHH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
