The paternal relationship between John J Sheehy and his daughter Elizabeth Sheehy is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant MFF.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MFF and other confirmed descendants of John Sheehy is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MFF descends from John Sheehy through John J Sheehy and his daughter Elizabeth Sheehy, the presence of significant shared DNA between MFF and other known descendants of John Sheehy validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA John Sheehy through John J Sheehy to Elizabeth Sheehy, and ultimately to MFF, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
