The maternal relationship between Mildred Victoria Bernice Schelin and her son Jon Rudolph deFlon is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RLD.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RLD and other confirmed descendants of Andrew Anders Svensson Sjölin Schelin/Eva Sophia Råström Rodestrom is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RLD descends from Andrew Anders Svensson Sjölin Schelin/Eva Sophia Råström Rodestrom through Mildred Victoria Bernice Schelin and her son Jon Rudolph deFlon, the presence of significant shared DNA between RLD and other known descendants of Andrew Anders Svensson Sjölin Schelin/Eva Sophia Råström Rodestrom validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Andrew Anders Svensson Sjölin Schelin/Eva Sophia Råström Rodestrom through Mildred Victoria Bernice Schelin to Jon Rudolph deFlon, and ultimately to RLD, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
