Anna Peters (ABT 1862 - 31 Mar 1898)

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

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between MD and other confirmed descendants of Gerhard Schellenberg is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since MD descends from Gerhard Schellenberg through Anna Peters and her daughter Maria Dueck, the presence of significant shared DNA between MD and other known descendants of Gerhard Schellenberg validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Gerhard Schellenberg through Anna Peters to Maria Dueck, and ultimately to MD, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
