The maternal relationship between Amanda Ellen Carpenter and her daughter
Lenora Flook is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant AV.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between AV and other confirmed descendants of
Edward Carpenter is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since AV descends from Edward Carpenter through Amanda Ellen Carpenter and her daughter Lenora Flook, the presence of significant shared DNA between AV and other known descendants of Edward Carpenter validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Edward Carpenter through Amanda Ellen Carpenter to Lenora Flook, and ultimately to AV, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
