The paternal relationship between August Pahlow and his son
Hugo Pahlow is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KL.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KL and other confirmed descendants of
Christine Sophia Mailahn is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KL descends from Christine Sophia Mailahn through August Pahlow and his son Hugo Pahlow, the presence of significant shared DNA between KL and other known descendants of Christine Sophia Mailahn validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Christine Sophia Mailahn through August Pahlow to Hugo Pahlow, and ultimately to KL, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
