Margaretha Schellenberg (ABT 1788 - ABT 1821)

The maternal relationship between Margaretha Schellenberg and her daughter Margaretha Braun is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant ADN.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between ADN and other confirmed descendants of Paul Schellenberg is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since ADN descends from Paul Schellenberg through Margaretha Schellenberg and her daughter Margaretha Braun, the presence of significant shared DNA between ADN and other known descendants of Paul Schellenberg validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Paul Schellenberg through Margaretha Schellenberg to Margaretha Braun, and ultimately to ADN, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
