The maternal relationship between Edna Emelia Ackerson and her son Ernest Wayne Schelin is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant PSS.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between PSS and other confirmed descendants of Nels Nelson or Nils Ackerson/Hannah Hanna Larson is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since PSS descends from Nels Nelson or Nils Ackerson/Hannah Hanna Larson through Edna Emelia Ackerson and her son Ernest Wayne Schelin, the presence of significant shared DNA between PSS and other known descendants of Nels Nelson or Nils Ackerson/Hannah Hanna Larson validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Nels Nelson or Nils Ackerson/Hannah Hanna Larson through Edna Emelia Ackerson to Ernest Wayne Schelin, and ultimately to PSS, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
