The paternal relationship between Hugo Pahlow and his son Hugo Pahlow is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant KL.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between KL and other confirmed descendants of August Friedrich Ferdinand PAHLOW/Christine Sophia Mailahn is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since KL descends from August Friedrich Ferdinand PAHLOW/Christine Sophia Mailahn through Hugo Pahlow and his son Hugo Pahlow, the presence of significant shared DNA between KL and other known descendants of August Friedrich Ferdinand PAHLOW/Christine Sophia Mailahn validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple August Friedrich Ferdinand PAHLOW/Christine Sophia Mailahn through Hugo Pahlow to Hugo Pahlow, and ultimately to KL, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
