Maria Dueck (27 Aug 1866 - ABT 1946)

The maternal relationship between Maria Dueck and her son Wilhelm Rempel is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant EE.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between EE and other confirmed descendants of Johan Driedger/Katharina Bergen is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since EE descends from Johan Driedger/Katharina Bergen through Maria Dueck and her son Wilhelm Rempel, the presence of significant shared DNA between EE and other known descendants of Johan Driedger/Katharina Bergen validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Johan Driedger/Katharina Bergen through Maria Dueck to Wilhelm Rempel, and ultimately to EE, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
