DNA Confirmation

NOTE: The following dna match will require triangulation with another independant match to fully confirm the paternal relationship (see wikitree guidance for an explanation)

Evidence of Nathaniel Fitz Randolph as the father of Samuel Fitz Randolph has been provided by the testing of Anne Lindgren-199 and Dianne Dearring-1 as 10th cousins with MRCA=Edward Fitz Randolph-42. As reported on GEDMATCH Chrm 17, Estimated number of generations to MRCA= 4.8 with 2 shared segments. Largest segment = 15.9 cM. Total Half-Match segments (HIR) = 15.9 cM (0.443 Pct). 389162 SNPs used for this comparison. 52.545 Pct SNPs are full identical. Confirmation of the relationship will require triangulation with another match.
