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