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