The paternal relationship between Leo Schultz and his son HS is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant LA.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LA and other confirmed descendants of Carl Friedrich Ferdinand Haut/Caroline Friederike Hackbarth is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LA descends from Carl Friedrich Ferdinand Haut/Caroline Friederike Hackbarth through Leo Schultz and his son HS, the presence of significant shared DNA between LA and other known descendants of Carl Friedrich Ferdinand Haut/Caroline Friederike Hackbarth validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Carl Friedrich Ferdinand Haut/Caroline Friederike Hackbarth through Leo Schultz to HS, and ultimately to LA, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
