The paternal relationship between Herman Parlow and his son RP is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant WF.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between WF and other confirmed descendants of Carl Heinrich Pahlow/Wilhelmine Ramthun is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since WF descends from Carl Heinrich Pahlow/Wilhelmine Ramthun through Herman Parlow and his son RP, the presence of significant shared DNA between WF and other known descendants of Carl Heinrich Pahlow/Wilhelmine Ramthun validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Carl Heinrich Pahlow/Wilhelmine Ramthun through Herman Parlow to RP, and ultimately to WF, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
