The proposed relationship of Andreas Ludwig GRÜNKE as the father of Traugott Louis GRÜNKE and Albertina Gruenke is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 3rd cousin, once removed relationship between WL (a descendant of the Albertina Gruenke ancestral line) and PELR (a descendant of the Traugott Louis GRÜNKE ancestral line) with a shared segment of 18.17 cM across 1 HIR segments.

This match is consistent with their placement within these shared ancestral branches.
