Leona Fessler ( - 1989)

The maternal relationship between Leona Fessler and her son Lawrence J Keller is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RL.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RL and other confirmed descendants of Charles Theodore Fessler/Wilhelmina Marohn is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RL descends from Charles Theodore Fessler/Wilhelmina Marohn through Leona Fessler and her son Lawrence J Keller, the presence of significant shared DNA between RL and other known descendants of Charles Theodore Fessler/Wilhelmina Marohn validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Charles Theodore Fessler/Wilhelmina Marohn through Leona Fessler to Lawrence J Keller, and ultimately to RL, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
