LaVere Lukens (1928 - 2019)

The paternal relationship between LaVere Lukens and his daughter DL is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DL.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DL and other confirmed descendants of Milton D. Lukens/Lydia Ann Suplee is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DL descends from Milton D. Lukens/Lydia Ann Suplee through LaVere Lukens and his daughter DL, the presence of significant shared DNA between DL and other known descendants of Milton D. Lukens/Lydia Ann Suplee validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Milton D. Lukens/Lydia Ann Suplee through LaVere Lukens to DL, and ultimately to DL, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
