Katharina Wiens (ABT 1792 - )

The proposed relationship of Katharina Wiens as the mother of Maria Harder and Katharina Reimer is supported by DNA evidence indicating shared ancestry within the family lines.

Specifically, DNA evidence confirms a 3rd cousin, twice removed relationship between DJG (a descendant of the Maria Harder ancestral line) and JDE (a descendant of the Katharina Reimer ancestral line) with a shared segment of 76.50 cM across 6 HIR segments.

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