Maria Dyck (10 Apr 1864 - )

The maternal relationship between Maria Dyck and her daughter Helena Redekopp is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JH.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JH and other confirmed descendants of Jacob Dyck/Margaretha Dyck is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JH descends from Jacob Dyck/Margaretha Dyck through Maria Dyck and her daughter Helena Redekopp, the presence of significant shared DNA between JH and other known descendants of Jacob Dyck/Margaretha Dyck validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Jacob Dyck/Margaretha Dyck through Maria Dyck to Helena Redekopp, and ultimately to JH, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
