The paternal relationship between James Andres Kittelberger and his DNA tested son MK is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MK and other confirmed descendants of
Ambrose Austen/
Susannah Beard is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MK descends from Ambrose Austen/Susannah Beard through James Andres Kittelberger, the presence of significant shared DNA between MK and other known descendants of Ambrose Austen/Susannah Beard validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Ambrose Austen/Susannah Beard through James Andres Kittelberger to MK, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
