Edward Joseph Maloney (18/04/1898 - 18/10/1949)

The paternal relationship between Edward Joseph Maloney and his daughter JM is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant GD.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between GD and other confirmed descendants of Daniel Casey/Margaret Donahue is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since GD descends from Daniel Casey/Margaret Donahue through Edward Joseph Maloney and his daughter JM, the presence of significant shared DNA between GD and other known descendants of Daniel Casey/Margaret Donahue validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Daniel Casey/Margaret Donahue through Edward Joseph Maloney to JM, and ultimately to GD, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
