Heinrich Klassen (ABT 1918 - 17 Jun 1976)

The paternal relationship between Heinrich Klassen and his son RBK is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RBK.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RBK and other confirmed descendants of Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RBK descends from Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens through Heinrich Klassen and his son RBK, the presence of significant shared DNA between RBK and other known descendants of Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens through Heinrich Klassen to RBK, and ultimately to RBK, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
