Abraham Giesbrecht (28 Feb 1846 - ABT 1923)

The paternal relationship between Abraham Giesbrecht and his son Cornelius L. Giesbrecht is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DJG.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DJG and other confirmed descendants of Cornelius Driedger/Katharina Krahn is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DJG descends from Cornelius Driedger/Katharina Krahn through Abraham Giesbrecht and his son Cornelius L. Giesbrecht, the presence of significant shared DNA between DJG and other known descendants of Cornelius Driedger/Katharina Krahn validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Cornelius Driedger/Katharina Krahn through Abraham Giesbrecht to Cornelius L. Giesbrecht, and ultimately to DJG, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
