The paternal relationship between Richard L Kinloch and his daughter Kathleen Kinloch is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KH.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KH and other confirmed descendants of Joseph Kinloch/Emmaline Nosiette is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KH descends from Joseph Kinloch/Emmaline Nosiette through Richard L Kinloch and his daughter Kathleen Kinloch, the presence of significant shared DNA between KH and other known descendants of Joseph Kinloch/Emmaline Nosiette validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Joseph Kinloch/Emmaline Nosiette through Richard L Kinloch to Kathleen Kinloch, and ultimately to KH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
