The maternal relationship between Helena Neufeld and her son HT is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant AT.
The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between AT and other confirmed descendants of
Anton Heppner/
Elisabeth Wiens is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since AT descends from Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens through Helena Neufeld and her son HT, the presence of significant shared DNA between AT and other known descendants of Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens validates the generational links along this maternal line.
This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Anton Heppner/Elisabeth Wiens through Helena Neufeld to HT, and ultimately to AT, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
