The paternal relationship between Harvey Bartig and his DNA tested daughter J is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between J and other confirmed descendants of
Gottfried Giese/
Anna Maria Nast is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since J descends from Gottfried Giese/Anna Maria Nast through Harvey Bartig, the presence of significant shared DNA between J and other known descendants of Gottfried Giese/Anna Maria Nast validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Gottfried Giese/Anna Maria Nast through Harvey Bartig to J, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
