The paternal relationship between Benjamin Bird and his daughter IMB is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JN.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JN and other confirmed descendants of
John Thomazin BIRD/
Catherine BARKER is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JN descends from John Thomazin BIRD/Catherine BARKER through Benjamin Bird and his daughter IMB, the presence of significant shared DNA between JN and other known descendants of John Thomazin BIRD/Catherine BARKER validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Thomazin BIRD/Catherine BARKER through Benjamin Bird to IMB, and ultimately to JN, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
