Herman Friesen (28 Jan 1909 - 11 Jan 1990)

The paternal relationship between Herman Friesen and his son Abram K. Friesen is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant MD.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MD and other confirmed descendants of Gerhard Schellenberg is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MD descends from Gerhard Schellenberg through Herman Friesen and his son Abram K. Friesen, the presence of significant shared DNA between MD and other known descendants of Gerhard Schellenberg validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Gerhard Schellenberg through Herman Friesen to Abram K. Friesen, and ultimately to MD, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
