The paternal relationship between Esten Pehrsson and his son Per Estensson is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant VW.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between VW and other confirmed descendants of Per Estensson is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since VW descends from Per Estensson through Esten Pehrsson and his son Per Estensson, the presence of significant shared DNA between VW and other known descendants of Per Estensson validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Per Estensson through Esten Pehrsson to Per Estensson, and ultimately to VW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
