Johann Schellenberg (ABT 1756 - 23 Feb 1814)

The paternal relationship between Johann Schellenberg and his daughter Margaretha Schellenberg is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant HW.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between HW and other confirmed descendants of Jacob Schellenberg/Christina Loewen is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since HW descends from Jacob Schellenberg/Christina Loewen through Johann Schellenberg and his daughter Margaretha Schellenberg, the presence of significant shared DNA between HW and other known descendants of Jacob Schellenberg/Christina Loewen validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Jacob Schellenberg/Christina Loewen through Johann Schellenberg to Margaretha Schellenberg, and ultimately to HW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
