The paternal relationship between Edward Michael NEAGLE and his son Edward Arthur NEAGLE is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JA.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JA and other confirmed descendants of John NEAGLE/Ada JENKIN is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JA descends from John NEAGLE/Ada JENKIN through Edward Michael NEAGLE and his son Edward Arthur NEAGLE, the presence of significant shared DNA between JA and other known descendants of John NEAGLE/Ada JENKIN validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple John NEAGLE/Ada JENKIN through Edward Michael NEAGLE to Edward Arthur NEAGLE, and ultimately to JA, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
