The paternal relationship between Dale Robert Blanchard and his DNA tested son RB is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RB and other confirmed descendants of
John Murray Murdoch/
Ann Steele is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RB descends from John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele through Dale Robert Blanchard, the presence of significant shared DNA between RB and other known descendants of John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele through Dale Robert Blanchard to RB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
