The paternal relationship between Edward Geldard and his daughter
Elizabeth Geldard is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JR.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JR and other confirmed descendants of JG/MS is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JR descends from JG/MS through Edward Geldard and his daughter Elizabeth Geldard, the presence of significant shared DNA between JR and other known descendants of JG/MS validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple JG/MS through Edward Geldard to Elizabeth Geldard, and ultimately to JR, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
