Robert Gruenke (1914 - 1996)

The paternal relationship between Robert Gruenke and his daughter EBG is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant AB.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between AB and other confirmed descendants of Traugott Louis GRÜNKE/Wilhelmine Turau is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since AB descends from Traugott Louis GRÜNKE/Wilhelmine Turau through Robert Gruenke and his daughter EBG, the presence of significant shared DNA between AB and other known descendants of Traugott Louis GRÜNKE/Wilhelmine Turau validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA couple Traugott Louis GRÜNKE/Wilhelmine Turau through Robert Gruenke to EBG, and ultimately to AB, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
