The maternal relationship between Elizabeth Sheehy and her son Maurice Joseph Fitzgerald is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant MFF.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MFF and other confirmed descendants of John Sheehy/Elizabeth Drury is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MFF descends from John Sheehy/Elizabeth Drury through Elizabeth Sheehy and her son Maurice Joseph Fitzgerald, the presence of significant shared DNA between MFF and other known descendants of John Sheehy/Elizabeth Drury validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John Sheehy/Elizabeth Drury through Elizabeth Sheehy to Maurice Joseph Fitzgerald, and ultimately to MFF, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
