John Edward Jack Holmes (03/04/1911 - 17/01/1983)

The paternal relationship between John Edward Jack Holmes and his daughter Marilyn Mildred Holmes is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant SS.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between SS and other confirmed descendants of Johannes Kürner/Christiana Heffilfinger is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since SS descends from Johannes Kürner/Christiana Heffilfinger through John Edward Jack Holmes and his daughter Marilyn Mildred Holmes, the presence of significant shared DNA between SS and other known descendants of Johannes Kürner/Christiana Heffilfinger validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Johannes Kürner/Christiana Heffilfinger through John Edward Jack Holmes to Marilyn Mildred Holmes, and ultimately to SS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
