The maternal relationship between Anna Penner and her son
Heinrich Klassen is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant RBK.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between RBK and other confirmed descendants of
Anton Heppner/
Elisabeth Wiens is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since RBK descends from Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens through Anna Penner and her son Heinrich Klassen, the presence of significant shared DNA between RBK 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 Anna Penner to Heinrich Klassen, and ultimately to RBK, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
