The maternal relationship between Mary Nadine Van Wagenen and her DNA tested daughter MRVW is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MRVW and other confirmed descendants of
David Van Wagenen/
Julia Ann Provost is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MRVW descends from David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost through Mary Nadine Van Wagenen, the presence of significant shared DNA between MRVW and other known descendants of David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple David Van Wagenen/Julia Ann Provost through Mary Nadine Van Wagenen to MRVW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
