Dale Alonzo Staples (14 FEB 1931 - 11 OCT 2003)

The paternal relationship between Dale Alonzo Staples and his DNA tested daughter SS is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between SS and other confirmed descendants of James Alexander Short/Elizabeth Moore is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since SS descends from James Alexander Short/Elizabeth Moore through Dale Alonzo Staples, the presence of significant shared DNA between SS and other known descendants of James Alexander Short/Elizabeth Moore validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple James Alexander Short/Elizabeth Moore through Dale Alonzo Staples to SS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
