Ewald Gruenke (1909 - 1994)

The paternal relationship between Ewald Gruenke and his son RG is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant AG.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between AG and other confirmed descendants of Andreas Ludwig GRÜNKE/Mathilde HÜBNER is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since AG descends from Andreas Ludwig GRÜNKE/Mathilde HÜBNER through Ewald Gruenke and his son RG, the presence of significant shared DNA between AG and other known descendants of Andreas Ludwig GRÜNKE/Mathilde HÜBNER validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Andreas Ludwig GRÜNKE/Mathilde HÜBNER through Ewald Gruenke to RG, and ultimately to AG, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
