Valerie Penner (23 Jul 1923 - 15 Aug 2017)

The maternal relationship between Valerie Penner and her daughter HP is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DME.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DME and other confirmed descendants of Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DME descends from Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens through Valerie Penner and her daughter HP, the presence of significant shared DNA between DME and other known descendants of Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens through Valerie Penner to HP, and ultimately to DME, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
