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