Milton Howard Lukens (1885 - 1946)

The paternal relationship between Milton Howard Lukens and his daughter Helen Ruth Lukens is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant MH.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MH and other confirmed descendants of Milton D. Lukens/Lydia Ann Suplee is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MH descends from Milton D. Lukens/Lydia Ann Suplee through Milton Howard Lukens and his daughter Helen Ruth Lukens, the presence of significant shared DNA between MH and other known descendants of Milton D. Lukens/Lydia Ann Suplee validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Milton D. Lukens/Lydia Ann Suplee through Milton Howard Lukens to Helen Ruth Lukens, and ultimately to MH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
