Kenneth Schafer (1941 - 2014)

The paternal relationship between Kenneth Schafer and his DNA tested daughter RS is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RS and other confirmed descendants of Martin Ramthun/Luise Glander is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RS descends from Martin Ramthun/Luise Glander through Kenneth Schafer, the presence of significant shared DNA between RS and other known descendants of Martin Ramthun/Luise Glander validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Martin Ramthun/Luise Glander through Kenneth Schafer to RS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
