Frank Parlow (1863 - 1953)

The paternal relationship between Frank Parlow and his son Herman Parlow is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant WF.

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

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Johann Gottfried Parlow through Frank Parlow to Herman Parlow, and ultimately to WF, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
