The paternal relationship between Raymond Emerson and his son
William Emerson is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JE.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JE and other confirmed descendants of
William Emerson is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JE descends from William Emerson through Raymond Emerson and his son William Emerson, the presence of significant shared DNA between JE and other known descendants of William Emerson validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA William Emerson through Raymond Emerson to William Emerson, and ultimately to JE, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
