The paternal relationship between Robert William Snyder and his son RES is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KY.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KY and other confirmed descendants of Heinrich J Steinseifer/Maria Elizabeth Hoffheins is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KY descends from Heinrich J Steinseifer/Maria Elizabeth Hoffheins through Robert William Snyder and his son RES, the presence of significant shared DNA between KY and other known descendants of Heinrich J Steinseifer/Maria Elizabeth Hoffheins validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Heinrich J Steinseifer/Maria Elizabeth Hoffheins through Robert William Snyder to RES, and ultimately to KY, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
