The paternal relationship between Henry Hindle and his son James Hindle 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 HH/PH is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JR descends from HH/PH through Henry Hindle and his son James Hindle, the presence of significant shared DNA between JR and other known descendants of HH/PH validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple HH/PH through Henry Hindle to James Hindle, and ultimately to JR, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
