The paternal relationship between Edward Bartig and his son
Harvey 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 Edward Bartig and his son Harvey 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 Edward Bartig to Harvey Bartig, and ultimately to J, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
