The paternal relationship between August Bartig and his son
Edward Bartig is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant J.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between J and other confirmed descendants of
Gottfried Giese/
Anna Maria Nast is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since J descends from Gottfried Giese/Anna Maria Nast through August Bartig and his son Edward Bartig, the presence of significant shared DNA between J and other known descendants of Gottfried Giese/Anna Maria Nast validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Gottfried Giese/Anna Maria Nast through August Bartig to Edward Bartig, and ultimately to J, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
