The maternal relationship between Judy Patricia Rains and her DNA tested daughter MLA is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MLA and other confirmed descendants of
Wilson Dero Maxwell/
Mary Omega Allison is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MLA descends from Wilson Dero Maxwell/Mary Omega Allison through Judy Patricia Rains, the presence of significant shared DNA between MLA and other known descendants of Wilson Dero Maxwell/Mary Omega Allison validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Wilson Dero Maxwell/Mary Omega Allison through Judy Patricia Rains to MLA, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
