Barbara Ann Brierton (1949 - 2009)

The maternal relationship between Barbara Ann Brierton and her son DRH is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DRH.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DRH and other confirmed descendants of IC/MC is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DRH descends from IC/MC through Barbara Ann Brierton and her son DRH, the presence of significant shared DNA between DRH and other known descendants of IC/MC validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple IC/MC through Barbara Ann Brierton to DRH, and ultimately to DRH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
