Abraham Doerksen (28 Oct 1863 - 18 Oct 1925)

The paternal relationship between Abraham Doerksen and his daughter Maria Doerksen is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant DSMW.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between DSMW and other confirmed descendants of Johan Peters is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since DSMW descends from Johan Peters through Abraham Doerksen and his daughter Maria Doerksen, the presence of significant shared DNA between DSMW and other known descendants of Johan Peters validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA Johan Peters through Abraham Doerksen to Maria Doerksen, and ultimately to DSMW, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
