Maria Dyck (15 Nov 1812 - 26 Sep 1869)

The maternal relationship between Maria Dyck and her daughter Anganeta Dyck is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DG.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DG and other confirmed descendants of JD/Helena Penner is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DG descends from JD/Helena Penner through Maria Dyck and her daughter Anganeta Dyck, the presence of significant shared DNA between DG and other known descendants of JD/Helena Penner validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple JD/Helena Penner through Maria Dyck to Anganeta Dyck, and ultimately to DG, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
