The paternal relationship between Darrel Lewis Clegg and his DNA tested daughter EC is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between EC and other confirmed descendants of
John Murray Murdoch/
Ann Steele is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since EC descends from John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele through Darrel Lewis Clegg, the presence of significant shared DNA between EC and other known descendants of John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Murray Murdoch/Ann Steele through Darrel Lewis Clegg to EC, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
