Matthew James "Bud" Forret (1893 - 1982)

The paternal relationship between Matthew James "Bud" Forret and his daughter Bonnie Beatrice Forret is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant BS.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between BS and other confirmed descendants of Nicholas Forret/Margaret L Fehlen is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since BS descends from Nicholas Forret/Margaret L Fehlen through Matthew James "Bud" Forret and his daughter Bonnie Beatrice Forret, the presence of significant shared DNA between BS and other known descendants of Nicholas Forret/Margaret L Fehlen validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Nicholas Forret/Margaret L Fehlen through Matthew James "Bud" Forret to Bonnie Beatrice Forret, and ultimately to BS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
