The maternal relationship between Emma Kollath and her daughter
Bernice Schultz is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant AS.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between AS and other confirmed descendants of
Carl Friedrich Parlow is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since AS descends from Carl Friedrich Parlow through Emma Kollath and her daughter Bernice Schultz, the presence of significant shared DNA between AS and other known descendants of Carl Friedrich Parlow validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Carl Friedrich Parlow through Emma Kollath to Bernice Schultz, and ultimately to AS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
