The paternal relationship between Clarence Alfred Ackerson and his daughter HPA is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DH.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DH and other confirmed descendants of
Nels Nelson or Nils Ackerson/
Hannah Hanna Larson is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DH descends from Nels Nelson or Nils Ackerson/Hannah Hanna Larson through Clarence Alfred Ackerson and his daughter HPA, the presence of significant shared DNA between DH and other known descendants of Nels Nelson or Nils Ackerson/Hannah Hanna Larson validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Nels Nelson or Nils Ackerson/Hannah Hanna Larson through Clarence Alfred Ackerson to HPA, and ultimately to DH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
