The maternal relationship between Rubena Martha Patzkowski and her daughter CLD is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant JMJ.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between JMJ and other confirmed descendants of
Jacob Gerhard Thiessen/
Catharina Friesen is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since JMJ descends from Jacob Gerhard Thiessen/Catharina Friesen through Rubena Martha Patzkowski and her daughter CLD, the presence of significant shared DNA between JMJ and other known descendants of Jacob Gerhard Thiessen/Catharina Friesen validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Jacob Gerhard Thiessen/Catharina Friesen through Rubena Martha Patzkowski to CLD, and ultimately to JMJ, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
