Jakob Schellenberg (26 Oct 1721 - ABT 1795)

The paternal relationship between Jakob Schellenberg and his son Johann Schellenberg is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant HW.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between HW and other confirmed descendants of Jacob Schellenberg/Christina Loewen is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since HW descends from Jacob Schellenberg/Christina Loewen through Jakob Schellenberg and his son Johann Schellenberg, the presence of significant shared DNA between HW and other known descendants of Jacob Schellenberg/Christina Loewen validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Jacob Schellenberg/Christina Loewen through Jakob Schellenberg to Johann Schellenberg, and ultimately to HW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
