The paternal relationship between Elmer Louis Ackerson and his daughter Fern Louise Ackerson is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant BL.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between BL and other confirmed descendants of Nels Nelson or Nils Ackerson/Hannah Hanna Larson is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since BL descends from Nels Nelson or Nils Ackerson/Hannah Hanna Larson through Elmer Louis Ackerson and his daughter Fern Louise Ackerson, the presence of significant shared DNA between BL 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 Elmer Louis Ackerson to Fern Louise Ackerson, and ultimately to BL, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
