Azenar Matherne (17 Mar 1850 - 21 Jul 1928)

The paternal relationship between Azenar Matherne and his daughter Catherine Ozelia Matherne is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant SHH.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between SHH and other confirmed descendants of Octave Matherne/Eleonore Guitreaux is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since SHH descends from Octave Matherne/Eleonore Guitreaux through Azenar Matherne and his daughter Catherine Ozelia Matherne, the presence of significant shared DNA between SHH and other known descendants of Octave Matherne/Eleonore Guitreaux validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Octave Matherne/Eleonore Guitreaux through Azenar Matherne to Catherine Ozelia Matherne, and ultimately to SHH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
