Helena Sawatzky (ABT 1863 - 12 Apr 1921)

The maternal relationship between Helena Sawatzky and her son Jacob J. Fehr is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant TF.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between TF and other confirmed descendants of Peter Sawatzky/Margaretha Rempel is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since TF descends from Peter Sawatzky/Margaretha Rempel through Helena Sawatzky and her son Jacob J. Fehr, the presence of significant shared DNA between TF and other known descendants of Peter Sawatzky/Margaretha Rempel validates the generational links along this maternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Peter Sawatzky/Margaretha Rempel through Helena Sawatzky to Jacob J. Fehr, and ultimately to TF, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
