Anna Hoeppner (ABT 1781 - 29 Jun 1826)

The proposed relationship of Anna Hoeppner as the mother of Maria Penner, Katharina Penner and Heinrich Penner is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a distant cousin relationship between Robert James Wiebe (a descendant of the Maria Penner ancestral line) and JV2 (a descendant of the Katharina Penner ancestral line) with a shared segment of 27.31 cM across 2 HIR segments.

It also confirms a distant cousin relationship between JV2 (a descendant of the Katharina Penner ancestral line) and RBK (a descendant of the Heinrich Penner ancestral line) with a shared segment of 86.75 cM across 7 HIR segments.

These matches are consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
