John Sawatzky (24 May 1917 - 21 May 2016)

The paternal relationship between John Sawatzky and his son JS is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JS.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JS and other confirmed descendants of Anton Heppner is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JS descends from Anton Heppner through John Sawatzky and his son JS, the presence of significant shared DNA between JS and other known descendants of Anton Heppner validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Anton Heppner through John Sawatzky to JS, and ultimately to JS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
