The paternal relationship between John Simon and his son Henry Simon is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JV.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JV and other confirmed descendants of Johannes Christoph Simon/Anna Caterin Bromery is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JV descends from Johannes Christoph Simon/Anna Caterin Bromery through John Simon and his son Henry Simon, the presence of significant shared DNA between JV and other known descendants of Johannes Christoph Simon/Anna Caterin Bromery validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Johannes Christoph Simon/Anna Caterin Bromery through John Simon to Henry Simon, and ultimately to JV, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
