Jacob Braun (ABT 1847 - 11 Oct 1908)

The paternal relationship between Jacob Braun and his daughter Katharina Braun is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant AF.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between AF and other confirmed descendants of Johann Sawatzky/Susanna Entz is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since AF descends from Johann Sawatzky/Susanna Entz through Jacob Braun and his daughter Katharina Braun, the presence of significant shared DNA between AF and other known descendants of Johann Sawatzky/Susanna Entz validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Johann Sawatzky/Susanna Entz through Jacob Braun to Katharina Braun, and ultimately to AF, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
