The maternal relationship between Maria Schellenberg and her son
Johann Johann Schroeder is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JV2.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JV2 and other confirmed descendants of
Gerhard Schellenberg/
Christina Reimer is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JV2 descends from Gerhard Schellenberg/Christina Reimer through Maria Schellenberg and her son Johann Johann Schroeder, the presence of significant shared DNA between JV2 and other known descendants of Gerhard Schellenberg/Christina Reimer validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Gerhard Schellenberg/Christina Reimer through Maria Schellenberg to Johann Johann Schroeder, and ultimately to JV2, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
