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