The paternal relationship between Abraham Kornelsen and his son
Jacob W. Kornelsen is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant APK.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between APK and other confirmed descendants of
Gerhard Schellenberg is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since APK descends from Gerhard Schellenberg through Abraham Kornelsen and his son Jacob W. Kornelsen, the presence of significant shared DNA between APK and other known descendants of Gerhard Schellenberg validates the generational links along this paternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Gerhard Schellenberg through Abraham Kornelsen to Jacob W. Kornelsen, and ultimately to APK, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
