The maternal relationship between Helena Neufeld and her son
Heinrich Dredger is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant LSD.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LSD and other confirmed descendants of
Paul Schellenberg is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LSD descends from Paul Schellenberg through Helena Neufeld and her son Heinrich Dredger, the presence of significant shared DNA between LSD 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 Helena Neufeld to Heinrich Dredger, and ultimately to LSD, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
