The maternal relationship between Mickey Estes and her daughter DP is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KS.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KS and other confirmed descendants of
Steven Matthew Estes/
Cora Kessinger is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KS descends from Steven Matthew Estes/Cora Kessinger through Mickey Estes and her daughter DP, the presence of significant shared DNA between KS and other known descendants of Steven Matthew Estes/Cora Kessinger validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Steven Matthew Estes/Cora Kessinger through Mickey Estes to DP, and ultimately to KS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
