The maternal relationship between Elisabeth Thiesen and her son
Dietrich T. Enns is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant PWE.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between PWE and other confirmed descendants of
Jacob Gerhard Thiessen/
Catharina Friesen is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since PWE descends from Jacob Gerhard Thiessen/Catharina Friesen through Elisabeth Thiesen and her son Dietrich T. Enns, the presence of significant shared DNA between PWE and other known descendants of Jacob Gerhard Thiessen/Catharina Friesen validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Jacob Gerhard Thiessen/Catharina Friesen through Elisabeth Thiesen to Dietrich T. Enns, and ultimately to PWE, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
