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