The paternal relationship between Harry Pahlow and his son Edward Pahlow is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant Jeffrey Pahlow.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between Jeffrey Pahlow and other confirmed descendants of August Friedrich Ferdinand PAHLOW/Christine Sophia Mailahn is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since Jeffrey Pahlow descends from August Friedrich Ferdinand PAHLOW/Christine Sophia Mailahn through Harry Pahlow and his son Edward Pahlow, the presence of significant shared DNA between Jeffrey Pahlow and other known descendants of August Friedrich Ferdinand PAHLOW/Christine Sophia Mailahn validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple August Friedrich Ferdinand PAHLOW/Christine Sophia Mailahn through Harry Pahlow to Edward Pahlow, and ultimately to Jeffrey Pahlow, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
