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