Anna Defehr (15 Oct 1816 - ABT 1893)

The maternal relationship between Anna Defehr and her daughter Maria Hiebert is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant CK.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between CK and other confirmed descendants of Benjamin Defehr/AB is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since CK descends from Benjamin Defehr/AB through Anna Defehr and her daughter Maria Hiebert, the presence of significant shared DNA between CK and other known descendants of Benjamin Defehr/AB validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Benjamin Defehr/AB through Anna Defehr to Maria Hiebert, and ultimately to CK, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
