Justina U. Kornelsen (ABT 1896 - ABT 1928)

The maternal relationship between Justina U. Kornelsen and her son Peter K. Kroeker is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant APK.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between APK and other confirmed descendants of Paul Schellenberg is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since APK descends from Paul Schellenberg through Justina U. Kornelsen and her son Peter K. Kroeker, the presence of significant shared DNA between APK 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 Justina U. Kornelsen to Peter K. Kroeker, and ultimately to APK, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
