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