The maternal relationship between Abigail PAICE and her daughter
Abigail Ann Maud COURTNEY is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant Joan Patricia ROBERTS.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between Joan Patricia ROBERTS and other confirmed descendants of
Jonathan PAICE/
Elizabeth SKEAT is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since Joan Patricia ROBERTS descends from Jonathan PAICE/Elizabeth SKEAT through Abigail PAICE and her daughter Abigail Ann Maud COURTNEY, the presence of significant shared DNA between Joan Patricia ROBERTS and other known descendants of Jonathan PAICE/Elizabeth SKEAT validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Jonathan PAICE/Elizabeth SKEAT through Abigail PAICE to Abigail Ann Maud COURTNEY, and ultimately to Joan Patricia ROBERTS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
