Helena Wiebe (12 Aug 1863 - ABT 1909)

The maternal relationship between Helena Wiebe and her daughter Maria Peters is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant APF.

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

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Heinrich Penner/Katharina Driedger through Helena Wiebe to Maria Peters, and ultimately to APF, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
