Helen Ruth Lukens (1915 - 2000)

The maternal relationship between Helen Ruth Lukens and her daughter MH is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant MH.

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

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