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