Thomas Cragg (18/12/1875 - 07/03/1941)

The paternal relationship between Thomas Cragg and his son Dean Melvin Cragg is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KC.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KC and other confirmed descendants of Nelson Cragg/Edna Richardson is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KC descends from Nelson Cragg/Edna Richardson through Thomas Cragg and his son Dean Melvin Cragg, the presence of significant shared DNA between KC and other known descendants of Nelson Cragg/Edna Richardson validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Nelson Cragg/Edna Richardson through Thomas Cragg to Dean Melvin Cragg, and ultimately to KC, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
