The paternal relationship between Joseph Henry Raphael and his son Ralph Oliver Raphael is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DH.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DH and other confirmed descendants of Ralph Phillip Raphael is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DH descends from Ralph Phillip Raphael through Joseph Henry Raphael and his son Ralph Oliver Raphael, the presence of significant shared DNA between DH and other known descendants of Ralph Phillip Raphael validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Ralph Phillip Raphael through Joseph Henry Raphael to Ralph Oliver Raphael, and ultimately to DH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
