Johann Braun (20 Oct 1823 - 16 May 1883)

The paternal relationship between Johann Braun and his son Jacob Braun is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant LP.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between LP and other confirmed descendants of Johann Sawatzky/Susanna Entz is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since LP descends from Johann Sawatzky/Susanna Entz through Johann Braun and his son Jacob Braun, the presence of significant shared DNA between LP and other known descendants of Johann Sawatzky/Susanna Entz validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Johann Sawatzky/Susanna Entz through Johann Braun to Jacob Braun, and ultimately to LP, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
