The proposed relationship of Lelah May West as the mother of
Harold Eugene Bost, CEB and
Geraldine Bost is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.
Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between DS (a descendant of the CEB ancestral line) and FL (a descendant of the Harold Eugene Bost ancestral line) with 156.40 cM of shared DNA across 9 HIR segments.
It also confirms a 1st cousin, twice removed relationship between MBC (a descendant of the Geraldine Bost ancestral line) and FL (a descendant of the Harold Eugene Bost ancestral line) with 252.90 cM of shared DNA across 11 HIR segments.
These matches are consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
