The maternal relationship between Katharina Reimer and her daughter
Aganetha Dirksen is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JDE.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JDE and other confirmed descendants of
Katharina Wiens is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JDE descends from Katharina Wiens through Katharina Reimer and her daughter Aganetha Dirksen, the presence of significant shared DNA between JDE and other known descendants of Katharina Wiens validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Katharina Wiens through Katharina Reimer to Aganetha Dirksen, and ultimately to JDE, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
