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