The paternal relationship between Earl Anglebert Criel and his son
Theodore L. Criel is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant CW.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CW and other confirmed descendants of
Bernard De La Sorte/
Josephine Sophie Spruyt is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CW descends from Bernard De La Sorte/Josephine Sophie Spruyt through Earl Anglebert Criel and his son Theodore L. Criel, the presence of significant shared DNA between CW and other known descendants of Bernard De La Sorte/Josephine Sophie Spruyt validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Bernard De La Sorte/Josephine Sophie Spruyt through Earl Anglebert Criel to Theodore L. Criel, and ultimately to CW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
