All individuals listed in these family trees appear to be descended from a single common male ancestor. The appended 'DNA tree' summarises those relationships that have resulted from DNA analysis. It shows the branching that has been validated by analysing DNA samples submitted by living Le Couteur descendants from different family branches. It is fully consistent with the known genealogy.
