Abraham Kornelsen (ABT 1806 - ABT 1880)

The paternal relationship between Abraham Kornelsen and his son Abraham Kornelsen 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 Abraham Kornelsen and his son Abraham Kornelsen, the presence of significant shared DNA between APK 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 Abraham Kornelsen to Abraham Kornelsen, and ultimately to APK, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
