Anna Braun (28 Jan 1816 - 19 Dec 1847)

The maternal relationship between Anna Braun and her daughter Anna Thiessen is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant EVR.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between EVR and other confirmed descendants of Heinrich Penner/Katharina Driedger is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since EVR descends from Heinrich Penner/Katharina Driedger through Anna Braun and her daughter Anna Thiessen, the presence of significant shared DNA between EVR 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 Anna Braun to Anna Thiessen, and ultimately to EVR, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
