The maternal relationship between Gladys Louise (Fowler) Johnson and her son WLH is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant WLH.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between WLH and other confirmed descendants of Gunnild Andresdotter Valen is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since WLH descends from Gunnild Andresdotter Valen through Gladys Louise (Fowler) Johnson and her son WLH, the presence of significant shared DNA between WLH and other known descendants of Gunnild Andresdotter Valen validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Gunnild Andresdotter Valen through Gladys Louise (Fowler) Johnson to WLH, and ultimately to WLH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
